In line with the government guidelines, we have introduced a process for families who feel they are unable to make these voluntary payments. Please be aware that in some circumstances families are able to provide alternatives to the extras we usually provide (i.e snacks) and in other cases if you are unable to make payment for these extras your child may not be able to participate (i.e trips, forest school sessions & music sessions). If you feel you are unable to pay the daily additional extras charge, please get in touch with Becky Dutton on 07980 420232 or via email stoswaldsladybirds1@outlook.com and we can discuss alternative options.
