Camp Information

LUNCH & BREAKS

Children need to bring a packed lunch and a refillable drinks bottle. Children have an hour for lunch: the first 30 minutes is spent eating with other children and then they have another 30 minutes to run around and play some of the many gameswe have on offer. We also have two 15-minute breaks – one in the morning and one in the afternoon during which the children can enjoy the snacks which are included. Lunch and breaks are fully supervised.

HOURS OF OPERATION

Our standard camp hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm and all prices are based on these hours. We also offer extended care between 8am to 8.30am and from 5.30pm to 6pm.

The cost for extended care is £5.00 for each end of the day (8am to 8.30am or 5.30pm to 6pm).

If your child has any kind of viral infection, including vomiting, diarrhoea, etc.. then we are unable to look after your child for the 48 hours following the incident.

 

BEHAVIOUR

Children need an environment where they feel secure in order to grow, learn and thrive. We encourage children to interact with each other throughout their time at the camp. The Cosmixology team members are there to promote and enable a positive, fun environment and encourage children to be considerate in their actions and words.

 

BULLYING

Bullying is not tolerated at Cosmixology and swift action will be taken at the earliest possible stage by our staff. Parents will be notified immediately and children who are  responsible will be asked to leave. We operate on a ‘One Love for All’ policy and want our camps to remain a happy place for children that attend.
