Cancellations: Our courses/briefing sessions whether online or face to face, paid for or free of charge are subsidised in some way, therefore we are required to put measures in place to enable us to continue to provide a quality programme for the Early Years sector. Please ensure you have read the below T&Cs regarding required notice of attendance or cancellation. Once you have submitted your application, your place will be allocated. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, you have to cancel, please do so by emailing eytraining@nottinghamcity.gov.uk as soon as possible, ideally not less than 48 hours before the course commences.
Please Note:
- Face to face and online training*: If you cancel less than 48 hours before the course is due to start, or do not attend on the day, you will be charged 100% of the course fee and no refund will be made if you have paid in advance. * This includes Agreement Trialling and New to the EYFSP due to room hire and/or trainer/facilitator costs.
- Online Information/Briefing Sessions or Workshops: To enable us to continue running free online information/briefing sessions and funding portal workshops we are required to show a good attendance. Therefore, we still require 48 hours notice of cancellations and any non-attendance on the day will be monitored, with a view to reinstating a charge of £30 for frequent non-attendance.
- Networks: (Leadership, Room Leaders and SENCO) As above, to enable us to continue running our networks we are required to show a good attendance, therefore annual membership must be renewed and paid for in advance of the autumn** session and attendance must be confirmed (via online or email to eytraining@nottinghamcity.gov.uk) for each session both online or face to face.** New members can join throughout the year at a reduced charge for remaining sessions.
- In-House/Bespoke Training requests: Once your request has been confirmed by email, any cancellations will incur a 10% administration charge and if the course is cancelled less than 48 hours before the course is due to start, you will be charged 100% of the agreed course fee.
All Course/Networks/Briefing Information
Please ensure that you read individual course information on our website as there may be course pre-requisites. For example, you may need to bring something to the course, read something beforehand or simply be aware that the course has practical elements, so you may need to wear comfortable clothing or footwear.
Course Start Times
It is important that you arrive for courses on time, or ideally 10 minutes beforehand, so registration can commence on time and you do not miss vital information or disrupt the session. Our trainers reserve the right to turn latecomers away.
