Online bookings are now available for Zest breakfast club at the following link: https://shorturl.at/ygMq7

Please note that spaces are limited and once full, the system will not allow any further bookings. Places for the toast club at 8.30am are limited to 5 per session, and as the system does not enable us to limit this option, any bookings over the 5 capacity will be refunded. There are currently 24 spaces per morning in total, with the intention to make 30 places available in the near future.

Please note that payment is taken at the time of booking. The system is also set up to accept a number of childcare voucher schemes, as well as Tax Free Childcare. There is however currently a short delay on payments with childcare voucher schemes on the system's end, and this is in the process of being rectified. In the meantime, please message the club manager Lorna Simmons at ripley.zest@valleycids.co.uk to receive a club contract and to enable her to take a manual booking.
