ACTIVITIES
Kids attending FunnCamps participate in sports and arts and crafts activities. We currently facilitate many activities at the FunnCamp at The Bridge; the sports activities include but are not limited to Nerf guns, football, dodgeball, tennis, bouncy castles, rocket launching, parachutes, darts and sports day games. We always seek to add more sports activities and will promote new sports as and when we add them. Our arts and crafts activities are themed in relation to the holiday period, e.g. Christmas FunnCamps arts and crafts will be Christmas-themed. Children take the arts and crafts they’ve done home with them.

Different activities take part in different facilities within the school. The facilities we use at the camp include the playground, classroom, sports hall and the dining hall.

DROP OFF/PICK UP
Parents drop off their children at the camp using the main entrance, Laburnum Street, London E2 8BA. Registration ends at 9:30 AM, at which point we close the gate. You must contact us to be let in if you arrive after 9:30 AM.

Picking up your child is done using the same gate. The pick-up time is no later than 3:30 PM (Standard Time). If you arrive earlier, you’ll have to wait at the entrance in front of the gate, as the gate will most likely be locked for safety reasons. The kids will line up alongside the fence, and coaches will call each child to go individually with their parent/guardian. It’s important that kids go home with the right parent/guardian, and this process allows us to do so. Please be patient with the coaches during pick-up time.

Late pick-up for children is at two times - 4:30 PM or 5:30 PM. As a courtesy, we request that parents arrive a few minutes before the designated pick-up times to ensure timely pick-up of their child. Please note that we only have these two times available as the gates need to be closed for safety reasons, and it stops coaches from going back and forth to open/close the gate and ensures kids go home with the correct parent/guardian. In an emergency, parents can call or message the coach to arrange their child's pick-up.

BOOKING PROCESS
Once you select "Book Now" or "Select dates to book", you can start registering your child on the system. You'll be able to add medical info, choose dates, add emergency contact numbers, etc. All coaches at the club have access to registers and parents' phone numbers. We have full access to the system, so we can instantly view your child's info, send emails, call parents in emergencies, etc. We'll contact parents immediately to inform them of an occurrence in an emergency. Booking is done before your child's attendance and before the club starts. Parents can book individual or multiple days, as they wish.

CONTACT DETAILS:
Parents can contact the lead coach during the camp for any emergency-related issues. Parents can contact the coach using the following;

If you cannot reach us over the phone, do WhatsApp or drop a message, as we may often be busy with the kids in our provision and would prefer the latter. We will always contact parents in case of an emergency. Our WhatsApp is connected to all of our coaches, so all messages/calls through WhatsApp will be seen by all Lead coaches for our camps.

OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT

We accept payment via both Childcare vouchers and Tax-free childcare. Our OFSTED number is 2710882. If you would like to use either of these payment methods, please send us an email at hello@thefunnclubb.co.uk or follow the steps outlined below.

If a child is injured, hurt or any other such case. We will contact the parent/s and inform them of what has happened.

We will take videos/pictures of the kids participating in different sports for social media and marketing purposes. Pictures/videos won't focus on any particular children (unless you've given us consent to it). A whole group picture/video will be taken at the end of each day to be posted on our social media sites. If you still do not consent to any group photos/videos with your child included, please let us know via email.

Payments made to us online are subject to Stripe fees:1.5% +20p and an application fee of 3.1%. In total, 4.6% + 20p. This will be taken out of your final refund amount and then issued. Those fees associated with online payments are not taken by us but by the platform (Class4kids) and card processors. Please allow 5 – 10 days for refunds to be in your account.

If your child cannot attend due to illnesses, COVID-related or similar issues. You can request a refund. Please inform us at hello@thefunnclubb.co.uk at least 48 hours before the day of the camp with proof, e.g., a sick note, doctor's note, etc., and a refund will be processed immediately.

COACHES
The ratio for our camps is 1 Coach to every 10 children (minimum) and one coach to every 13 children (maximum). All coaches at the FunnClubb are DBS checked, FA First Aid qualified, and Safeguarding qualified unless they’re training with us, in which case a coach with the relevant qualifications will always accompany them. To see any documents, please email us to ask.

TOILETS
Kids will use the toilets located within the school. Children can use the toilet at any period during the day. A FunnClubb coach will always accompany children to the toilet and wait outside until they’re finished to take them back to their activities.
