A few reminders that will aide in the smooth running of the club:

•  We ask that you inform us before 12 noon if your child will not be attending Tea Timer’s on that day using teatimers@hollymount.merton.sch.uk or text on the mobile.

 

2. Tea Timer’s runs from 3.10 - 6pm. If you are running late then please text or phone the Tea Timer’s mobile. As per your Teatimer’s terms and condition, one late occurrence is permitted. After this a late charge of £5.00 per five minutes for each occasion may be incurred if you collect after 6pm.

 

3. Children are collected from outside the locked green gate. Please ring the door bell, so that a member of staff is aware that you have arrived.

 

4. Do remind your child to bring their named water bottle. If they are requested to keep their water bottle in class then please supply them with a separate one for Tea Timers’ use.

 

5. Please do remember that Teatimer’s requires half a term’s notice if you no longer need the space for your child or if you wish to make any changes to the days that your child attends.

 

6. For Safeguarding reasons, the school is a smartphone free zone. Please refrain from using your mobile phones when entering school premises.

 

Payment

Tea Timer’s payment will be processed and paid through Arbor. It is important that you keep up with payments and do not fall into arrears. Continued arrears may result in the cancellation of your child's place.

If you are experiencing financial difficulties, please do contact Lauren Nardin the School Business Manager on sbm@hollymount.merton.sch.uk.

 

Please be reassured that if you are new to the school, you may not have a live Arbor account just yet.  

Once you have been allocated an account you will be emailed an invitation to open your account, at that point you will be able to make payments for Tea Timer’s.  Setting up our payment process takes time at the start of the school year so please do not worry; if you have received a confirmation letter, your child does have a confirmed Tea Timer’s place.
