FAQ’s
Can I book and pay for my sessions later?
Yes. Our flexible booking platform will allow you to pre-book sessions in advance. However, all sessions must be paid for in full, in advance of your child attending. You will receive an email reminding you that payment is due. If you fail to pay in the required time frame, the system will automatically cancel your booking and release your session/s back in to the system.
Do I have to book the whole week/month/term?
No. Our system is very flexible and, subject to availability, you can book for individual sessions or for the whole of the school year. It’s completely up to you.
What are the payment options?
The easiest and most convenient way to pay is by debit/credit card. Our booking system allows you to either pay via card per booking or if you are booking 8 sessions or more, you can pay weekly using your card. You can also add credit to your account and use this credit to make bookings.
What if I need to cancel or amend my booking?
No problem. If you wish to cancel a booking, you are able to do this yourself via your account dashboard and receive credit on your account. To amend a booking you have previously made you simply cancel it and re-book the new session/date that you require. As we require 24 hours notice for credit of any session, we recommend you do not cancel a booking within 24 hours if you require an amendment as you will be charged again for the new booking. Instead please email your Coordinator to make them aware you will be collecting earlier/later.
Can you book a session by text, email or over the phone?
We CANNOT accept bookings that are requested by text, email or by phone. You will need to log in to your account and make the booking there.
What shall I do if I need someone else to collect my child?
Your child will not be able to leave with anyone that is not listed on your account as an authorised contact. You can add people by logging in to your account dashboard and selecting ‘Child Details’. Here you can add up to four emergency contacts and persons authorised to collect your child.
Can I use my National Childcare Scheme award towards the cost of sessions?
Yes indeed. We operate the National Childcare Scheme; all you need to do is email Lorraine (support@clubspraoi.ie) with your CHICK details and we will register your child for the scheme.
