​Booking Process

  1. The Booking Forms for each holiday are uploaded to this site a few days prior to booking opening and are emailed to all users on our mailing list. This usually occurs the week before the prior Playscheme begins, or eight weeks before the Playscheme being booked.  Details about the precise time and date of the booking window will be included in the booking email. 

  2. Bookings can be made electronically or using paper copies.  We will only send paper copies of the booking documentation if you have notified us that no computer access is available. We require one booking form to be completed per child.

  3. All forms will be returned if they are incomplete or incorrect and booking forms can only be accepted if the child is currently registered to use the Playscheme (please see Registrations and Registration Forms page).

  4. Booking opens for Groups A and B, applicable to the following categories: University Staff and Students, Cambridge Assessment and Cambridge University Press staff, College staff, College Teaching Officers and Fellows. Any booking forms received before this time will be deleted and the user will be asked to resubmit at the correct time.

  5. Bookings will then be processed in the order they are received. Processing of all booking forms may take up to 7 days and users will be contacted as soon as possible from the point of submission with their booking confirmation and invoice(s).

  6. Booking for all remaining users (Group C) will open after approximately 4 weeks.  Please note that Group C booking emails will be deleted if sent before their specific opening date and the user will be asked to resubmit when appropriate. All booking forms from here will be processed in order of receipt, regardless of from which Group.

  7. The booking period will close approximately 2 weeks before the holiday.  Any bookings made after this time will be subject to an additional charge of £2.50 per child per day.

  8. We endeavour to provide places for all parents booking onto the Playscheme, but there will be times when places are full. In this situation the Childcare Office operates a waiting list system.  The waiting list will only apply until 2 working days prior to Playscheme starting. The exact date of this will be communicated to parents in the booking email. Once the Playscheme sites have opened the waiting list will no longer exist. Parents can call the sites directly to enquire about possible availability.
