The Hive Breakfast and After School Club – Booking Information

Bookings for September 2026 are now live. Parents will need to log onto Arbor to make their own bookings for September 2026 onwards. You can book sessions by the day, per week or per month. You can make bookings in advance for the academic year however payment does need to be made at the time of booking for the booking to be accepted.

All payments should be made via Arbor. You can add additional credit to your account to ensure that you are always in credit in case you need to book an emergency session.

How to book your child into The Hive

Paying by Childcare Vouchers or Child Free Tax Credits

If you pay by Childcare Vouchers or Child Free Tax Credits, please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk to advise this, providing your TFC number for Child Free Tax Credits. School will make the booking only for these two instances. Parents paying through these forums will have 48 hours to ensure that the money has transferred to our Trust's bank account otherwise the booking will be released. Once the school receives confirmation from our Trust that payment has been made, your account will be credited accordingly.

Emergency Session Bookings

If you require an emergency session, parents can book these themselves as long as it is within 48 hours of the required session.

Where an emergency session is needed on the day, please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk, between 8.00am and 4.00pm weekdays only). The school will book the session on your behalf, as long as there is sufficient credit on your account to pay for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to book sessions up to the end of July 2026 - the process remains the same.

1. Can I sign up for my child to attend at The Hive myself via the Arbor app or Arbor portal?

Yes and this is now encouraged. School will only book emergency sessions (less than 48 hrs notice) or bookings where payment is being made by Tax Free Credits or Childcare Vouchers.

2. I need proof of payment for Universal Credits. How can I get this from Arbor?

Please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk and ask for a letter and statement for Universal Credits. A list of the invoices that have been raised and the total amount of these, will be provided.

3. Can my child attend The Hive, Out of School Club for part of their booked session

Yes, this has been introduced for September 2026. Collection must be made by 6.00pm, otherwise a fine of £6.00 per 10 minutes or part therefore, that you are late will be charged.

4. Can I start my child mid-way through the year?

Yes, parents can book sessions whenever they need them.

5. My child is due to start at The Hive, however I have not been given the gate code?

Please contact osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk to request this. Due to safeguarding, this code should not be given to anyone other than the person who is dropping off/collecting your child. Please do not give the code to your child, an adult should be bringing them to the door of The Hive every day.

6. My child attends an after school activity club in school, can they go to The Hive when this finishes?

Yes, parents can book one of the new sessions from 4.15pm - 5.15pm or 4.15pm to 6.00pm. Parents should email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk to advise that this is the case and the child will be collected from their after school activity and taken over to The Hive.

7. My children want to attend the School Association disco, can they bring in a change of clothes and get changed in school (KS1) or at The Hive (KS2)?

Yes this is possible. If you are going to collect your child directly from the school disco, please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk to let them know so that they are aware that they don't have to collect your child and take them back to The Hive.

8. My child is going on a school residential, do I have to pay for these days?

Parents are responsible for making their own bookings, therefore if your child is going on a school residential, please remember not to book them into The Hive on those days unless a session is needed on the first or last day.

9. My child is in Year 6 and I pay all my fees by Childcare vouchers. If my account is in credit, how do I claim this back at the end of the school year?

Unfortunately, due to the tax implications, school is not able to refund you directly for any overpayment made by Childcare Vouchers. To ensure that you are not in credit at the end of the academic year, we suggest that you reduce your amount of payments to your childcare company as the year comes to a close.

10. Who can I contact if I am not happy with something relating to The Hive?

In the first instance, please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk. Your concern will be forwarded to the Club Manager or the person from the Senior Leadership Team who is responsible for The Hive, to action/or respond. Please do not email the Headteacher directly. Please allow 48 hours for a response to be provided.

If you have any questions that have not been answered here, please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk
