About VIM Camps Ltd
We offer flexible child-led play. Your Very Important Minors are welcome to choose from a vast array of activities or let their imaginations run wild!
Our after school clubs are more than an extension of the school day. We’re committed to providing an inclusive, nurturing and supportive environment. We believe that combining child-led play with more focused activities can provide children with a well-rounded and engaging experience after a day of learning and we offer a variety for them to choose from to suit all ages and interests from our quiet early years role play and reading areas, to arts & crafts, team games, outdoor fun and much more including baking, smoothie making, biscuit decorating and board games.
Our popular Holiday Clubs are themed and incorporate your children's favourite activities. All primary aged children are very welcome at each setting, regardless of which school they attend. We also offer Inset Day sessions at some schools.
We want your children to enjoy their time with us. If there is anything you think we should know in order to help them settle, or they have any needs that we should be aware of, please get in touch with our Safeguarding and Inclusion Manager on seb@vimcamps.com.
You can make adhoc bookings for wraparound care or book regular sessions by the term, we're here whenever you need us. Please get in touch on info@vimcamps.com if you need any help at all.

Terms & Conditions
Terms and Conditions January 2026
Please read our Terms and Conditions carefully; they enable us to run our clubs to the highest standard and keep children safe and happy, and ensure parents, carers and VIM know and understand their responsibilities.
Regular Breakfast and After School Club Bookings
Regular Breakfast and After School Club sessions can be booked to ensure your child has a place for every day that they need at our Breakfast and After School Club. Additional adhoc days can also be booked providing there are spaces. 10% sibling discount applies to all bookings where siblings are booked for the same session on the same day.
Holiday Club Bookings
Holiday Club sessions can be booked online until 9pm the night before the session starts. For siblings, a 10% discount will automatically be applied when you make a booking for siblings to attend the same session on the same day.
Deadline for booking Sessions Online
Sessions can be booked online up to 24 hours before the session.
Late Booking
If you need to make a booking after the deadline, please call us or send an email to info@vimcamps.com. Please also notify the school that you have booked the session.
Payment
Payment is due in advance of session attendance as we incur up front costs. Outstanding balance may result in your account being suspended which will mean we are unable to take a booking until they are cleared.
Childcare Vouchers & Tax-Free Childcare scheme
We are also registered to accept many different types of childcare vouchers (please check our website for details) and with the Tax-Free Childcare scheme. If your Payment Provider is not listed please email us with the details so we can get an account set up.
Working Tax Credit/Universal Credit
The Club recognises that childcare can be costly, so we encourage eligible parents or carers to claim the childcare element of the Working Tax Credit/Universal Credit and are happy to help with proof of payment.
Cancellations
Once booked, if a child does not attend for any reason, you will still be charged for this place unless you cancel the session online with the correct notice. You can cancel a session or sessions online at any time.
If you cancel a session or sessions online before 48 hours prior to the booked session, you will be automatically issued with a credit which you can re-use. After 48 hours prior to the session you can still cancel, but you will not be issued with a credit after this time.
Refunds
We do not automatically issue refunds, however if under exceptional circumstances a refund needs to be issued, a £10 admin fee will be charged, to cover admin costs.
Waiting List
Places will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. When all places have been filled a waiting list will be established, with the following order of priority to ensure fairness to all: Siblings of children already attending the club, those requiring the greatest number of sessions/hours per week. When a space becomes available the person at the top of the list will be contacted first.
Non- Attendance
If your child will not be attending due to illness or other circumstances e.g., you are collecting your child from school on a day that they are booked to attend the club, you must notify us before the start of the session.Â
Late Collection
If, due to unforeseen circumstances, you are going to be late, please contact the club as soon as possible. If a child is not collected on time, a charge of up to £25.00 per child will be added to your account to cover the costs of the staff who are legally required to supervise the child. If your child is not collected within 30mins of club closing, and the club has been unable to reach you or any of your emergency contacts, VIM will follow its Uncollected Children Policy and contact Social Care.
Arranging someone else to collect your child.
In exceptional circumstances, you may arrange for someone else to collect your child who was not listed as part of the registration process. Parents or carers must inform VIM in advance and provide a full name and contact number for them as well as a description of the person. If the manager has any concerns regarding the person collecting, they will contact the main parent or carer for confirmation.
Club Exclusion
We reserve the right to exclude children from our club if (but not limited to) consistently collected after the club's closing time, in exceptional circumstances i.e., if your child is repeatedly violent, or if their behaviour frequently poses an immediate danger to themselves or others.
Toilet Training
It is important that children who attend the club have been toilet trained. VIM understands that accidents can happen and suggests that younger children bring a change of clothes. By accepting these Terms and Conditions you are confirming that your child is able to go to the toilet independently.
Damage and Loss of Property
Club tries to ensure the safety and security of items but cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to a child’s property whilst at the Club.
Photographs
Photographs can be used to form part of our record of children’s development, a part of Ofsted’s EYFS for children of reception age and younger. We may also take photos for promotional purposes but we will ask for your permission directly prior to using them via our safety form and you are able to request that we do not do so.
Â
Club Closure
VIM will make every effort to keep the Club open, but in exceptional circumstances, we may need to close at short notice. Possible reasons for emergency closure include a snow day, serious weather conditions, heating system failure, burst water pipes, fire or bomb scare/explosion, death of a member of staff or child, assault on a staff member or child, Serious accident or illness. VIM will advise parents and carers of any closure by email, text or on Facebook as soon as possible. No refunds or credits will be provided if we are not able to open Breakfast Club, After School Club or Holiday Club due to a reason that is beyond our control.
Insurance
All children in our care are covered by our Public Liability Insurance.
Registration
We require the registration process to be completed for your child before they can attend the club. This information will be treated as confidential and will be stored appropriately. It is your responsibility to keep the club informed of any alterations to the information regarding my child (eg contact details, medical conditions, allergies etc).
Medicines
Ideally children should take their prescribed medication before arriving at the Club. If this is not possible and your child needs to take prescription medicine while attending, then you are required to complete a Permission to administer medicine form in advance. Staff at the Club will not administer any medication without such prior written consent. All medication provided must have the prescription sticker attached which includes the child’s name, the date, the type of medicine and the dosage. If children carry their own medication (e.g. asthma inhalers), the Club staff will keep the medication safe until it is required. See our Administering Medication Policy for more details.
Illness
We are unable to care for children who are unwell. If your child becomes unwell whilst at the Club, we will contact you and ask you to make arrangements for them to be collected.
Accident
Every precaution is taken to always ensure the safety of the children, and the Club is fully insured. If your child has an accident at the club, he/she will be treated by a qualified first aider and I will be informed as soon as possible. Our staff are trained in first aid and a first aid kit is kept on the premises. If your child has an accident whilst in our care, you will be informed when you collect your child.
By accepting these terms and conditions you are giving permission for a member of staff from VIM to sign any consent forms necessary for treatment on your behalf If your child needs urgent medical treatment and you are unavailable. For full details see our Illness and Accidents Policy.
Lone Working
There may be occasions when it is deemed appropriate due to low booked numbers, that staff will lone work. We have a lone working policy which is available on request. By ticking below, you are confirming acceptance of this arrangement.Â
Behaviour (Children)
The Club promotes an atmosphere of care, consideration and respect for everyone attending children, staff and visitors. Children and staff create rules for acceptable behaviour whilst at the Club and We have a clear Behaviour Management Policy and procedures for dealing with unacceptable behaviour. We recognise that poor behaviour can occur from time to time for reasons that are not always evident, or because of special needs. We will try to be flexible to accommodate such cases. However, if your child is violent, or if their behaviour poses an immediate danger to themselves or others, we will require you to collect them from the Club immediately and you will still pay for the session and any further missed sessions. In exceptional circumstances, and only when all other attempts at behaviour management have failed, we reserve the right to permanently exclude a child from the Club. See our Suspensions and Exclusions Policy for full details.
Behaviour (adults)
We will not tolerate from any person, whether a parent, carer or visitor: bullying; abusive, aggressive, confrontational or threatening behaviour; or behaviour intended to result in conflict. Our Club is a place of safety and security for the children who attend and the staff who work here, and we reserve the right to ban anyone exhibiting inappropriate behaviour from our premises. See our Aggressive Behaviour Policy for more details.
Child Protection
We are committed to building a ‘culture of safety’ in which the children in our care are protected from abuse and harm. Any suspicion of abuse is promptly and appropriately responded to. We comply with local and national child protection procedures and ensure that all staff are appropriately trained. For more details see our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
Equal Opportunities
Our Club provides a safe and caring environment, free from discrimination, for everyone in our community including children with additional needs. We respect the different racial origins, religions, cultures, and languages in a multi-ethnic society so that each child is valued as an individual without racial or gender stereotyping. We will challenge inappropriate attitudes and practices and we will not tolerate any form of racial harassment. For more details see our Equalities and Inclusion Policy.
Special Needs
We make every effort to accommodate and welcome any child with special needs. We will work in liaison with parents or carers and relevant professionals to fully understand your child’s specific requirements. We will endeavour to accommodate all children of all abilities, whilst working within the Club’s limitations. Each case will be considered individually and risk-assessed to ensure everyone’s safety. For more details see our Equalities and Inclusion Policy.
Communication
As an OFSTED registered childcare provider, we are responsible for each child's welfare therefore club staff may speak to your child’s teacher about their progress or any issues relating to their child’s welfare.
Â
EYFS
Part of our obligations of caring for children who are within the Early Years Foundation Stage is to monitor and record your child's progress and interests through observations and photos, identify next steps in the child's development, and liaise with other settings, if applicable.
Data Protection
We hold only the information necessary to provide a childcare service for each child. This includes child registration information, medical information, parent contact information, attendance records, incident and accident records and so forth. Once a child leaves our care we retain only the data required by statutory legislation and industry best practice, and for the prescribed periods of time. Electronic data that is no longer required is deleted and paper records are disposed of securely.
Some limited personal information is disclosed to authorised third parties we have engaged to process it, as part of the normal running of our business, for example in order to take online bookings, for safeguarding reasons daily registers with names and classes are sent to schools, and to manage our payroll and accounts. Any such third parties comply with the strict data protection regulations of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) .
Information held by VIM regarding your child will be treated as confidential and we are registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office). However, in certain circumstances, for example if there are child protection concerns, the club has a legal duty to pass certain information on to other agencies, including Police, Social Care and health care professionals.
Please see our Privacy Policy and Data Protection Policy for more details.
