COVID-19 UPDATE – March 2021

Little Wickets’ Fun & Games to restart in line with the Government’s “Roadmap”

Summer 2021 Term – March 21 Update

Following the Government’s  “Roadmap to Cautiously Ease Lockdown Restrictions”  announcement  on 22nd February 2021, we are optimistically planning for all of our activities to restart very soon,  in line with the 4 Step Plan laid out.  The Government’s step by step approach & the dates they have given are  subject to several factors being met. As I know the whole country is, we are watching the news and guidance with our fingers crossed and hoping that none of the landmark dates slip.

We already have a lot of bookings for the Easter Camps & Summer Term and anticipate high demand with the end of the lockdown in sight, so please don’t delay booking your children’s place(s). We can’t wait to see the kids running around having fun together with joyful smiles on their faces once again.   

You can book your children’s place(s) with confidence in the full knowledge that should the dates have to change, or an activity can’t run we have a  COVID 100% Refund Guarantee in place. 

Here’s the plan for now ….

Our First & Second Innings’ weekly sessions will be restarting for the Summer Term on Saturday 17th April 2021.

Our Summer 2021 Term Bookings are now live https://www.littlewickets.com/info-and-booking/

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.
