Crèche

For those parents who want to make use of the crèche, it will be easier than before - crèche sessions have changed and are now two and a half hours, which makes it easy to settle your child and then be able to join a class for the full two hours.

Fees

Information is given below about both course fees and, where applicable, certificate costs.  Support with course fees is available for those in receipt of benefit (you will be asked to supply evidence of benefit), and it is sometimes possible to get help with certificate costs.
