Home Parents Information

Pre-arrival Info

Please ensure you have completed your health and safety information for each child attending. This can be done by logging in to your account. Our clubs WILL NOT be able to accept children without this information due to OFSTED requirements.

What to bring

Just bring yourselves, ready for fun!

Do not bring

Please do not allow your child/ren to bring, mobile phones, handheld computer games, iPods/MP3 players, These items will be confiscated and remain in the club office until the end of the session. Please do not send children in expensive/sentimental clothing as we do tend to get messy at club and children occasionally misplace belongings.

Medication

If your child requires any prescription medication whilst attending club, then we will need you to complete an administration of medication form. You can find the administration of medication form here, please complete this and hand it to our staff upon your arrival. This includes epi pens and inhalers.

If you are unable to complete and print a form to bring with you, we will ask you to do this on your child’s first day.

Activities

We offer a varied program of engaging activities which varies from day to day to suit the ages, abilities, and interests of the children on site.

All activities are run in relation to their suitability to the time of year and the environment, some activities will be weather dependent.

No Nuts

All of our sites are nut-free, which means we are unable to allow ANY nuts or food products containing nuts on-site. Please refrain from sending any such products in your children’s lunch or snack as they will be removed.

Directions

Directions to your site are available on your venue site page

Additional support

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any form of one-to-one support for individuals as a standard practice. However, we aim to be as inclusive as possible, so if your child does require 1-1 support, please get in touch with head office at least 6 weeks in advance to discuss this further.

In the interest of other children and our club staff, we ask that you disclose any type of behavioural support for your child at least 6 weeks in advance of attending club so we can cater for their needs.

If your child requires one-to-one support or is deemed to require constant support that detracts from the care of other children by the on-site manager and this information wasn’t disclosed in advance, you may be contacted and asked to collect your child.

Toileting

Although we welcome children from the age of three, we ask that all children attending our camps are fully toilet trained. We understand that accidents happen, so if your child needs an extra set of clothes from time to time, we ask that you provide them and speak with one of the onsite team.

Health & Safety

It is your responsibility to provide accurate child information so please ensure all child and parent registration information is complete with up to date information. Failure to do so may result in you being turned away on site.

Late Collection

All children must be signed out by 6pm.  Only people listed on the registration and who are 16 years of age or older can collect.

We understand that at times parents/guardians may be running behind schedule, and we will always ensure that we do our utmost to support our families where possible. If a child is collected late it will have a knock on effect on our teams and therefore a late fee of £10.00 per 15 minutes will be applied for late collections. If you are running behind schedule and your child will be collected late, please make our head office aware so our team at the site can be notified in advance.

In the event of a child not being collected on time, we will attempt to call the parents/guardians. If we are unable to make contact, we will follow our safeguarding policy/uncollected child policy.

We always strive to offer parents/guardians the support needed, however, if late collections become a reoccurring event, we reserve the right to withdraw our service

Lost property

Lost property will be returned to Head Office at the end of each term. If not claimed within 2 weeks, it will be donated to charity. In order to claim any lost property please email info@oxfordactive.co.uk with details of the site your child attended, along with a clear description of the item. If found you will be contacted and this can then be collected/arranged to be shipped from our Head Office in Kidlington, Oxford.

Please ensure any items brought to an Active Club site are clearly labelled. Please ensure children do not bring any valuable toys or belongings with them as Active Clubs cannot be held responsible if they go missing.

Complaints

Oxford Active believes that children and parents are entitled to expect courtesy and prompt, careful attention to their needs and wishes. We anticipate that most concerns will be resolved quickly by an informal approach to the appropriate member of staff. If this does not achieve the desired result, we have a set of procedures for dealing with concerns which are available on our website.
