Please make sure everything you send in is clearly named so we can return it to you.

Pick up will be from the Sports Hall for all children, we will dismiss the children to you.   Please ensure that you know the password in case we don't recognise you from drop off.

Things to remember:

• Packed lunch and snacks - nothing containing nuts including Nutella, peanut butter sandwiches and cereal bars
• Large named water bottle
• Tuck money – around £1 - £2 is about right
• Swimming kit, including hat and goggles
• Long sleeves and socks on inflatable day to prevent friction burns
• Sun-cream and a hat in the summer

Please ensure everything is named so we can return it to you.

We ask that you avoid sending your child with their own toys as this can cause problems, anything sent in is at your own risk.

Keeping your children safe is our main concern, bringing these items to camp with you every day helps us do this. 

The Zone – Camp Managers–  Julia Adams or Jo Twyford

Zone Camp Leader - Connor Cody

Mini Zone – Lead: Vanessa Vickers  

Children will take part in a variety of activities including sports, art and craft, adventure games, cookery and more. They will follow a varied timetable which will change daily.

If you have any questions regarding bookings please e-mail thezone@bansteadprep.com in the first instance.  The telephone number for daily occurrences, e.g. you are running late is 07462 300126

Please note that the camp closes at 4pm, for standard hours and 5.30pm for those with a booked late finish, there is a charge for late collection of £9 which is incurred every 15 minutes.   Please refer to the  terms and conditions on our website for further information on charges.

Children should wear clothing and footwear suitable for running around in. We can get messy so please don't send them in their best clothes.

A packed lunch should be brought with a snack and a large water bottle, we have plenty of places to top up wtaer.  Please send extra snacks if they are attending the Chill Out Zone as they are often very hungry again by then! You are welcome to send in a dry breakfast if your child is starting early.

We have a tuck shop available offering snacks and drinks therefore children may bring a small amount of money to purchase something. 

We try to get the children outside whatever the weather, so in winter a warm coat is needed.

Children should bring their swimming kit, including a hat and goggles for when we are swimming. All children may swim (even non-swimmers); they are supervised by a qualified swimming instructor and lifeguard. Swimming sessions are fun swims and not lessons. Children will be tested for swimming ability by the swimming coach and appropriate swimming aids will be provided if required. Please do encourage your child to swim, as they love it when they finally take the plunge and daily swimming can quickly aid their swimming ability!

Please ensure your child has socks in their bag as they will need them if we have an inflatable.
