Bloom Baby Classes Booking Terms and Conditions

Important information regarding your booking

If, in the reason of a local or national lockdown, classes need to be put on hold, any classes owed to you can be rolled onto the next term. Your place will be held, and you will be given a priority place on the next available term. If you are unable to attend the next term, you may choose one of the following options:

Re-gift your term to a friend or member of your family

Bloom Gift Voucher to the value of your pre-booked term (Vouchers valid for 2 years, redeemed against future bookings or a private party booking)

We hope that you can choose from one of the above options, we do however realise this may not always be possible, please see your rights regarding refunds below.

Your rights

You may exercise your right to a refund when classes are paused, and you are not able to attend the pre-booked dates.  Please email your local franchise directly and we will advise you of refund processing time.  We will aim do this as soon as possible, in some cases it may be immediate, although due to the nature of lockdowns being implemented with no notice it maybe necessary for us to re-sell your place from our waiting list – we will inform you of this and the expected timeframe for funds to be returned to you.

Whilst we hope you love our classes as much as we do, should you book a term, and following your first class – you decide it is not for you, then you may choose to cancel your term and request a refund. A refund will be made, minus the first attended class and admin and booking fees incurred.  (You may choose one of the options listed above, if this is preferable), any cancellations need to be emailed to your local franchise with whom you have made the direct booking with.

Class temporary changes

All classes will be Covid-19 secure and will follow government, local authority, and Public Health England guidance.  We have also undertaken specific Covid-19, CPD certified training. All venues have been risk assessed and new policies and procedures will be in place.

During our ongoing risk assessments and to ensure we comply with any guidance and legislation changes it may become necessary for us to implement these changes to the 'typical' Bloom class.  Any disruption should now be minimal we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during any such times.

Booking/Payment Methods

Supervision and withdrawal of service

All children must be always supervised and must not be left unattended. The Bloom class teacher cannot be responsible for a child at any time. Any children behaving disruptively may be asked to leave the group. Should a carer or associated visitor behave in a way that Bloom feels is unreasonable, then the company reserves the rights to withdraw the provision of classes to the client.

Renewals

No later than two weeks before your term runs out your Bloom teacher will ask you whether you wish to renew for another term. We will inform you of how to rebook your space and payment terms this is usually done via our online booking system. Note however that places remain on a first come first served basis. Parents are usually given 2 weeks to book their space before spaces are offered to the wider community.

Cancellation of Classes policy

We will endeavour to run classes during bad weather such as snow and ice however in some cases classes may have to be cancelled. A Bloom teacher will endeavour to update parents through either the Facebook page or by text so please ensure all contact details are kept up to date.

An additional class will be offered for a different date should the above happen.
