COVID-19 Lockdown 3 Update (Jan 2021) – Term Time Sessions, Holiday Activities  & After School Clubs

With England in the midst of Lockdown 3  all of our First & Second Innings’ weekly sessions are suspended, until such time as it is deemed safe to restart. All the indications are that this will not be until at least Mid-February when we hope to be able to run our ever popular Half Term Indoor Camp for Primary School-Aged Children and Tots’ Hotshots Toddler Mornings. and hopefully after half term we can return to our planned Spring Term timetable right up until Easter  (Little Wickets Spring 2 Timetable). For now it’s a waiting game.

In the meanime you can still book (or join the waiting list) for any of our regular  First & Second Innings sessions – there’s nothing to pay until we know for sure the sesisons are running! Many of our current sesisons are fully subscribed (we have had to make the group sizes much smaller) so please join the waiting lists – more places will become availablel as the COVID- restrictions ease and will be offered on a first-come first-served basis – you won’t want to miss out!

Our top priority remains the the well-being & safety of  the extended Little Wickets Family; kids, parents, coaches  and of course the wider community. We are keeping a close eye on the national guidance and when we can return we will of course continue to implement our rigourous COVID-19 mitigation protocols as  necessary (without compromising on the Fun!) .   Little Wickets’ COVID-19 Mitigation Protocols Little Wickets full COVID-19 Mitigation Risk Assessment is available on request via email from  chloe@littlewickets.co

Prices

All sessions are currently payable in advance for a half. Joining mid-term is dependent on availability.

All Sessions will be bookable as a block for the first half of the Autumn Term @£12 per session to reflect the lowered maximum class size and our increased costs. Unfortunately we are not in a position to offer sibling discounts this half term. The Spring 21 per session rates will be reviewed mid December.

Maximum Group Sizes are under constant review  and we will return to a lower standard per session rate (£8 per session) & normal maximum group size just as soon as is viable under prevailing guidance. We are anticipating further guidance on group numbers for January 2021. However we do not anticipate being able to return to the pre-COVID group numbers until at least Summer 2021.

The cost of the After School clubs are dependent on which school the club is at. If your school is not listed in the booking section below please email info@littlewickets.com for further information.

Newcomer’s Guarantee

In order to maintain our strict low ratios of kids to coaches, we are unfortunately unable to offer free taster sessions. However, if after 2 weeks it isn’t working out for any reason, we will refund the unused prepaid sessions on the basis that the used sessions were at the standard per session rate.
