COVID-19 UPDATE – 30th December 2020
Little Wickets is On Hold Until Week Commencing 18th January 2021 at the Earliest
Term Time Sessions – Tier 4 Class Update
Without compromising on the Fun we continue to implement a number of COVID-19 Mitigation Measures at our regular 1st & Innings sessions (when they are running) to ensure the safety of the team, all our Families and the local commnity. Please see a summary of the measures we ask all our 1st & 2nd Innings Little Wickets’ Families to follow in our Little Wickets’ COVID ‘New Normal’ Protocols as well as the venue specific measures in place. Little Wickets full COVID-19 Mitigation Risk Assessment is available on request via email from chloe@littlewickets.com
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.
