The Manse Play Scheme

The school holidays are a time for fun. The school curriculum today, whilst encouraging our children to develop to their full potential, does not always allow much opportunity to develop their flair for free expression and imagination because of the pressures on teaching staff and their timetables. During the holidays we like to create an atmosphere in which the children can make choices of their own about how they spend their time.

We aim to create a safe environment in which the children can feel secure, free to explore craft activities and various sports. Over the years, our play schemes have helped children to build their self-esteem and social confidence. All “creations “and actions made by the children are treated with respect. All play scheme staff have been specially selected for their caring attitudes and variety of skills.

Some handy hints to keep your child safe and happy during their time at the play scheme:

Please make cheques payable to "The Manse Nursery"

	You will be billed for your total booking. This may be paid in instalments if you wish.
	Please settle your bill before your child’s last visit to the play scheme. We appreciate that these things get over looked, especially during holiday times, but we are a busy nursery and don’t have the time to chase payments. Therefore, we have had to introduce a £10.00 late payment fee.
	Due to the high demand for places and the need to staff the play scheme effectively, 4 weeks notice must be given to cancel your child’s place. If notice is not given, unfortunately full fees will be charged.
