The less exciting but very important stuff…

Health & Safety:

1.     Parents are asked to keep their tots at home if they have a serious infection or you know they may be contagious (see Terms and Conditions tab for more info on this)

2.     We don’t always know when our children are contagious so if your child becomes unwell with a serious infection shortly after attending one of our classes please could you let me know so that other parents can be alerted.

3.     In the event of sickness or diarrhoea, please do not bring children to class until they have been symptom free for 48 hours.

4.     Children must be supervised by the adult that brings them at all times.

5.     Due to food allergies please ensure that absolutely no food is brought into the Activity or Adventure Play area and all rubbish is taken home with you.

6.     Please take dirty nappies home with you.

7.     I understand many of our tiny customers will be potty training and therefore I am positively laden with anti-bacterial products– if your child has an accident please let me know immediately so I can provide you with cleaning wipes etc.

Refunds/Cancellations of classes: 

I will endeavour to run classes during bad weather. However, should classes need to be cancelled you will be notified ASAP. KeepsBeat Milton Keynes has the right to cancel classes without refund in exceptional circumstances beyond our control but if possible, we may run a catch-up class at an alternative time. If this cannot be arranged, I will add the missed session to your booking.

It is with regret that I cannot offer a refund if you are unable to attend a session. If possible, you will be offered a catch-up session, or you are welcome to offer your session to a friend if their child is of the right age for the group – please contact me in advance to arrange this as anyone not on the register will not be allowed entry to the class without prior arrangement.

Valuables:

Any valuables brought into the venue is done so at your own risk. I cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to personal possessions.
