Missed Classes

In the event of a child being unable, on reasonable grounds, to attend their booked session then he or she may “catch up” that class by attending an alternative session appropriate to age during the same term (up to 3 per term), but must be booked with Tin Pan Annie Music. These  cannot be covered over to the following term or to holiday clubs.

 

Free Trials

The parents and/or carers remain at all times solely responsible for the welfare, safety, care and conduct of the child. Tin Pan Annie Music® does not therefore insure against accidents and reserves the right to exclude from the sessions in the event of unacceptable behaviour.

Photographic and Film Rights


14. Photography and filming are allowed in our classes and events unless we have received a specific request for privacy and Tin Pan Annie will announce that there is to be no filming allowed for that class/event. Any filming or photography must not be intrusive, excessive or distracting and must be respectful of other children’s enjoyment of the class/event. Photography and filming for promotional use is always carried out during our shows by a registered 3rd party employed by Tin Pan Annie Music and will be used responsibly. With parents permission, please send any photographs of your child enjoying a Tin Pan Annie  event to Tin Pan Annie via instagram or email to tinpanannie@btinternet.com and we will be happy to include them on our social media platforms.

Sibling attendance


15. There is no charge for bringing baby siblings under 6 months old, but please keep them safe from lively toddlers and take them out if they are crying and distracting the other children in attendance.  Once the baby sibling reaches 6 months old we charge the sibling rate.  Please do not bring older siblings who are off school due to illness. Older siblings off school for any other reason are welcome to attend at the sibling rate  payable in advance or on attendance. We ask that you help older siblings to respect the age-group of the class they are attending and be aware of the younger children. Please note that our sibling rate DOES NOT APPLY to nanny shares.
 

 Adults


16. Our classes are designed to provide the children with the best possible learning environment . We expect the adults attending not to detract from this aim and ask that they come ready to participate and, as such encourage their child to participate also. Please do not bring food, drinks, toys or other distractions into the classes. Please turn off mobile phones and refrain from chit chat which adversely affects the children’s ability to concentrate. We welcome visiting grandparents etc. if we have room.

 

Data Privacy


17. By booking a class or attending a free trial with us, you agree to our privacy notice, which you can find by clicking this link. If you are not the parent or legal guardian of the child you are booking for, you agree that you have permission from the parent or guardian to give us that child’s personal data. We take the protection of your and your child’s personal data very seriously and will not distribute it to third parties without your written consent.
