If Beyond Blocks is forced to close due to an external factor beyond its control such as bad weather, infectious or contagious disease outbreak, power cut, boiler breakdown, Teacher Strikes or other industrial action, by order of Local Authority or Environmental Health, customers will still be liable for fees incurred during the entire period of closure.
Schedule Changes
Beyond Blocks may need to amend activity programmes, schedules, services, dates, times and/or venues on occasions for reasons that may be out of its control. These changes will be without refund or compensation to the customer.
Personal Property
Valuable items should not be brought to Beyond Blocks services. Please note children traveling to our services via scooter will not be permitted to leave them onsite due to space restrictions and safekeeping issues. Beyond Blocks will not be liable for the loss or damage of any item of personal/valuable property brought to any of its venues. We advise parents to ensure that all bags and clothing are clearly labelled with the child’s name.
Mobile Phones and Electronic Devices
Children are requested not to bring mobile phones or electronic devices to any Beyond Blocks Services. In certain circumstances and if a mobile device is brought in by a child, the device will be kept in the site managers box which will be locked and secured at all times.

Please note that each Beyond Blocks site has access to a site phone and/or tablet device to be used appropriately within our services and in case of emergencies.
Cancellation of classes
We’re very sorry to hear that you’ve decided to leave us.
We plan our classes on a termly basis and to get the most out of the club and your child’s interest in LEGO Robotics we encourage you to join with a commitment to completing each term in full.
If you do wish to cancel, you may do so within the terms of our Cancellation Policy above.
When you cancel your membership we will send an email in acknowledgement to confirm the date that your subscription will end. Your child is entitled to attend classes until then. If you do not receive this acknowledgement, you must assume that we have not received your cancellation notice.
If you would like to come back, (we hope you do!), you may need to go on a waiting list as we unfortunately can’t guarantee availability in the same class.
Attendance: If a child can not attend a class for any reason, we cannot transfer their class or provide a refund.
If a child will no longer be able to attend due to a medical reason, then please see our “Non Attendance due to injury or illness” terms above.
Please note, Homeschool sessions are not refundable.
Holiday Camps
Cancellation & refund of camps policy:
Our policy is to ask for one week’s written notice which must be given in the event of cancelling the camp booking, otherwise you will be charged the full amount for that booking. If a week or more notice is given, then a 95% refund will be made. The 5% reduction will have to go towards the refund administration fee charged to us by our supplier – we do not keep this money. If there are extenuating circumstances, we will endeavour to be as flexible as possible in rebooking you on to a workshop on another day/week. This will be subject to availability and only to be used within the same school holiday. This will be subject to our “Rearranging of Camps” policy below.
Rearranging of Camps policy:
All rearranged camps bookings can only be made at least 2 days ahead of the booking date. We are unable to rearrange or refund any workshops after this point. Unfortunately should a cancellation be made towards the end of a holiday period over the last 2 days, we will not be able to rearrange or refund these sessions.
Homeschool sessions
Homeschool sessions are booked and paid for in advance and are non-refundable
