šļø Booking Information
Booking covers the full six-week programme, rather than individual sessions. We encourage children to attend all six weeks to enjoy the complete learning experience and build friendships along the way.
Spaces are limited, so secure your child's place and get ready for lift-off! š
šØāš©āš§ Parent Attendance & Younger Siblings
Parents or guardians are required to remain with their children throughout each session. This is a parent-supported learning programme, and children cannot be dropped off.
We understand that many home-educating families have younger siblings, and they are very welcome to come along too!
Younger siblings must remain under the supervision and responsibility of their parent or guardian at all times.
Where possible, we hope to work with parents to create a small play area with LEGO, toys and activities to help keep younger siblings entertained while the older children participate in the space programme.
Please note that activities are specifically designed for children aged 7ā11, and any play provision for younger siblings will be informal and parent-supervised.
