Important Information for Parents & Guardians

Helping Us Keep Our Programmes Safe, Focused & Enjoyable
To ensure the best experience for all children attending our programmes, we kindly ask that parents and guardians:

☕ Do not bring hot drinks into programme areas
📱 Do not use mobile phones within programme activity spaces

These measures help us:
• Keep children safe from accidental spills and burns
• Minimise distractions during activities
• Protect the privacy and wellbeing of all children attending

If you need to take a call or enjoy a hot drink, we kindly ask that you do so outside of the programme area.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and cooperation. Together we can create a safe, welcoming, and positive environment for everyone.
