Changing your sessions

It is our policy at Groombridge Pre School to allocate places and arrange sufficient staffing numbers well in advance, allowing for maximum flexibility and the best possible staff ratios.

In order to achieve this, we require that parents notify us of any changes in sessions at least one full half term in advance and these will be dependent on availability. Unfortunately, any cancelled sessions during the term will be non-refundable.
