Introduction
As parents and carers we need to be sure that our children are safe and well looked after and enjoying
themselves, to give us peace of mind whilst at work, studying or taking a break. STEP Zone is an out of
school service (OSS) offering such a provision to parents and carers.
STEP Zone Holiday Club is operated by The STEP Academy Trust and is based at Gonville Academy. It
is registered Gonville Academy, the OFSTED registration number is 136714
The aim of STEP Zone OSS is to provide parents and carers with a reliable and consistent service in a
happy, secure and stimulating environment for their children. A team of qualified and experienced

educational and play-based activities and which are planned to stimulate and encourage development
as well as to teach them to co-operate with each other at play.
Holiday Club
Operated throughout most of the school holidays, the club
operates Monday to Friday 8am-6pm (excluding bank
holidays)
Fees
Fees must be paid in advance. Parents can pay fees online
by credit or debit card using the Parentpay website.
www.parentpay.com. This is the Academy’s preferred
method of receiving payment. Payments can also be made
by childcare vouchers.
Please assist us to keep running costs to minimum and operate as cost effective as possible by
making payments on time as requested.
£26.50 per child per day
£110.00 per child per week
*£3.80- per hour or part thereof
*Please note that there may be occasions when attendance for part of the day cannot be
accommodated, for example, when offsite trips have been organized.
Arrangements have to be made in advance to ensure that sufficient staff are available to supervise the
number of children attending the Holiday Club. For this reason all holiday places have to be booked. If
your child has been allocated a confirmed space, a deposit is required for bookings of more than 2
weeks. The deposit, equivalent to 2 weeks fees, will be used to cover the cost of the last weeks your
child has been allocated. However, if your child does not attend the sessions that you have booked, the
2 weeks deposit will be forfeited. All holiday places must be booked.
Admission
To register for a place, a registration form and booking form will need to be completed. These forms
can be downloaded from the Academy’s app search for us
(Gonville Academy) in your app store and download the app. The
Club Manager will contact parent/carer to instruct whether they
have been allocated a place.

Arrival and Departure
Children attending the Holiday Club must be signed in on arrival by their parent/carer.
Children in attendance at the Holiday Club must be signed out. We will only release children to
persons named by parents/carers on their registration form or as instructed by parent/carer in the
case of an emergency or change. Checks will be made- passwords etc. Please do not take offence or be
embarrassed if questions are asked and phone calls made. It is our responsibility to take all necessary
precautions with regard to the protection and welfare of the children. Please note that children
cannot be release to anyone under the age of 16 years. The Holiday Club ends at 6pm, and in
fairness to the staff, children are expected to be collected by this time. Late collection will result in
fines of £5 for the first 5 minutes and £1 for every minute thereafter. Persistent late collection will
constitute a serious breach of contract and may lead to the withdrawal of the club place.
Meals and Snacks
STEP Zone OSS aims to provide and offer a range of foods, which meet the medical, religious and
cultural dietary needs of the individual child.
The children are provided with a light (breakfast) snack between 9.30am and 10am. In the afternoon
around 4pm until 5pm, the children will also be given a light meal. Items served for all snacks will be
detailed on a menu displayed on the notice board.The children are required to bring a packed
lunch each day which they will consume around midday. The timings and menu may vary slightly
depending on what activities/outing are taking place.
