Compliments & Complaints

Parent feedback is always gratefully received. We work hard to do our best for your children while they are in our care it is always nice to hear from the parents that they are happy with the job we are doing. 


We are aware that feedback isn't always positive and we welcome this because we feel as though it provides us with the opportunity to review our settings when it is necessary, to make any positive changes in order to improve the environment. 


Please take time to fill in our Parent Feedback forms at the settings, alternatively to email us directly, please click here.

Booking Changes and Cancellations

Booking changes or cancellations are required to be given with one month notice, where an absence is reported with one month notice there will still be a 50% charge for the absent session. This is a retainer fee in order to keep your child's place at the setting.

Absences taken or cancellations made without one month notice, will be charged at 100%.


Bookings are term time only and will automatically run concurrently into the next term unless notice has been given. 


All new starters booked in before the start of a new term will be booked in and charged for the whole term, this includes reception children who may be subject to a 'phasing in' period of part time hours at school.


If your child will not attend our settings from the start of the new term, we must still be given a month's notice of this and the sessions will be subject to the 50% retainer fee.

Operation Encompass

Little Ladybirds and Appletree Pre-Schools have been given the opportunity to take part in a project that will run jointly between schools and Hertfordshire Police.

 

Operation Encompass is the reporting of police attended domestic abuse incidents to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, where there are children in the home.

 

Operation Encompass will ensure that a member of our staff, (DSL) known as a Key Adult, is trained to allow them to liaise with the police and to use the information that has been shared in confidence, while ensuring that the setting is able to make provision for possible difficulties experienced by children, or their families, who have experienced a domestic abuse incident.

 

We are keen to offer the best support possible to all our children and we believe this will be extremely beneficial for all those involved.
