Tax Free Childcare Payments
If you pay by tax free childcare payments (we call them vouchers) these have to be ordered, sent and authorised IN ADVANCE. When you order them from your provider, please email office@scottprimary.co.uk to advise how the amount is to be split. You will have to specify how much for each child and also between morning and afternoon Scotties (and Holiday Club when we operate).
For instance: I have ordered £100 of vouchers and they are to be allocated as Child 1, £25 AM and £25 PM and Child 2, £25 AM and £25 PM
Deadlines and Cancellation
You can book up to and including the day before.
The deadline for cancelling Scotties is the day before i.e. any sessions on a Tuesday need to be cancelled by the end of the school day on Monday. You can do this yourself on Parentmail by going into ‘Account’ as if to book however you then choose ‘no choice’ and go through the checkout process. This booking deadline is also the same (the day before).
If you need to cancel or book after the deadline – please contact the school office.
- Cancellations after the deadline – the session will still be charged (unless an exceptional emergency as agreed with the office or (same day) sickness).
- Bookings after the deadline – If you require the office to book after deadline then an admin fee of £2.50 will be added to the price.
