If your child is going to arrive at a playscheme session after 10.15am, please tell the play leader the day before, or contact the play development team before 10.15am on the day by calling 01543 308786.
Cancellation policy for summer clubs When booking a place on any of our playschemes or play activity week, it is your responsibility to make sure that they are suitable for your child’s needs. If you cancel your child’s place on or before 9 July 2012, we will refund your money by cheque, less a £10 administration fee. You can transfer your child’s place up to 9 July, but only if the alternative place is available. We cannot offer any refunds if you cancel after 10 July 2012. This is because Lichfield District Council subsidises each playscheme and play activity week, and it is unlikely that the place can be re-sold after this date. How to book playschemes or play activity weeks
.. . .
Booking starts on Monday 28 May. Complete a registration form for each child. You can either photocopy the form on page 10 or download one from www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/summerfun Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your booking form. If applying for a concessionary place, please include proof that you receive income support or job seekers allowance (a recent letter will do). If you are a member of Play on Prescription, please write your PoP card number on the bottom of the booking form.
Are playscheme places available on the day? You are welcome to come along on the day to see if there are any places available. If the playscheme is fully booked, but a child has not arrived by 10.15am, you can take their place. Can my child book with a friend? If you put the application forms in the same envelope, we will do our best to place them on the same playscheme. How can I book at the concessionary rate? 10% of our playscheme places can be booked at a concessionary rate. However, places are limited so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment. The concessionary rate is available for Lichfield District residents who are:
