Week 1: Mon 29, Tues 30, Weds 31st July Mon 5, Tues 6, Aug Week 3: Fri 30th Aug
AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, WE HAVE TAKEN A BREAK FOR THE PAST YEAR. DUE TO FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER ON THE GARDEN, WE HAVE HAD TO STOP AND TAKE A BREATH - AFTER 14 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS PROVISION. THIS SUMMER WE ARE BACK! YOU WILL NOTICE CHANGES, BUT THE NEW SET UP WILL BE JUST AS WONDERFUL AND NATURE INSPIRED AS BEFORE. THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH US MY LOVELIES!
All days 9.30 - 4 at a cost of £40 (other arrangements may be available on request)
We continue to resist putting up our prices to reflect the cost of living crisis. We strive to offer excellent care and loads of art/craft and baking in our woodland garden setting, and your day includes snacks, drinks, tea, marshmallows and all baking and craft materials. Special events may incur a slight premium Please bring a packed lunch and a bottle of water A change of clothes is always a good idea, and wellies when it rains
Please try to book ahead. It is unlikely that we can accomodate people at the last minute, as we need to book staff and buy in resources well in advance. ANY UNBOOKED DAYS WILL BE CANCELLED AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY. Please read through the rules page with your children prior to visiting.
All policy documents available for scrutiny on request. Staff carrying out any roles that require a DBS check will get one. The Secret Garden at Ottery St Mary holds an appropriate insurance policy which covers the activities offered including camp fires and animals on site. Children are required to follow our rules at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others. There is always some 'downtime' offered when the children can rest and choose from a number of activities should weather/situation require it.
Please try to honour all bookings and let us know as soon as you can if your circumstances/requirements change. All invoices to be paid by date stated. I regret that we are unable to refund should your child cancel on the day or once the week has commenced. If you cancel before the holiday we will try to fill your place. but if we can't then we will not be able to refund. Regular cancellations might affect your ability to book in the future.
And finally! We lock the house and often will be in the beautiful garden running about and making plenty of noise, so please try not to come early. We always send someone to let you in at the time you book to arrive - we might not hear you at the door if you come earlier than expected - but that's because we'll be having so much FUN!! :)
