Drop off/ Pick-up time
The sessions will start at 10am, and we will meet at Hillfields Park Community Centre. Please let us know if you’re running late as we will then move to the community garden. Pick up time is at 12pm. If you are late there will be a charge as we have to cover staff costs. Your child must be picked up at the end of the session, unless you state otherwise on the form.
If your child is walking home alone please consider whether your child is ready for the responsibility of walking home alone by assessing risks in the route and your child's confidence in road safety. We can only take responsibility for your child during the 2-hour session at Hillfields Park Community Centre.
Food
We will be making a small pastry ‘tree branch’ to take home so children will not have lunch at the club. This will be vegetarian, please let us know if your child has any dietary requirements on the information form. Please ensure your child/ren bring a tupperware to take the pastry home, and a water bottle on the day.
Clothes
Please send your child/ren in clothes they don’t mind getting dirty and ready for all weathers. If it is hot and sunny ensure your child/ren have hats and sunscreen. If it is rainy make sure your child/ren have waterproof clothing or bring a change of clothes. If it is too wet to be outside we will stay inside the building for the duration of the session.
Please ensure your child/ren wear closed shoes as we will be using child safety knives to cut vegetables.
Health and Safety
Our Hillfields Food Tree Summer Club is based in a large community centre building and our community garden. It is not a soft play area and whilst we will make the area as safe as possible there are risks associated. We have a risk and benefit assessment, available upon request. Benedetta is qualified in pediatric first aid.
Our building will be closed to the public but the garden is within an open public park. Because of this our club is not suitable for children that have a history of running off and not coming back. If your child hides and doesn’t respond to being called back, the nature of the site outdoors means we are obliged to phone the police.
Safeguarding
We have a safeguarding policy that is available on our website. All members of staff have enhanced DBS checks.
