The Hive Breakfast and After School Club – Booking Information

From September 2026 parent/carers are responsible for making their own bookings (including ad-hoc sessions) and will need to log onto Arbor to do this.
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, at any point, to ensure that you are always in credit, should you wish to do so.

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 as the process is different. 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 ad-hoc/emergency (one-off) session, parents are able to book this themselves up to an hour before the start time of the session. Please ring school to advise that you have made the booking so that we can inform your child that they need to go over to The Hive.

Where a last minute request is needed on the day (after 2.15pm), please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk or ring the school office. The school will book the session on your behalf, as long as there is sufficient credit on your account to pay for it and it is a valid emergency.

If you pay by Tax Free Credits and have credit on your account, you are able to book your own ad-hoc sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes, for September 2026 parents will need to make the bookings for all sessions themselves. School will only book on the day sessions (after 2.15pm), as long as a valid reason is given for the booking, 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?

Parents are able to take screenshots of their invoices by clicking on the Orange "Quick Action" button at the top left of the child's account. Scroll down to payments and invoices to see your bookings and take a screenshot. Please email osc@williamlaw.pdet.org.uk to request a letter for Universal Credits.

3. Can my child attend The Hive, Out of School Club for part of the overall session times?

Yes, this has been introduced for September 2026. The different sessions can be found at the top of this page. 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. How can I see in Arbor, what sessions I have booked my child onto?

Parents can view their child's bookings in two ways - Please click on the orange button (Quick Actions) at the top left hand corner of the child's account and click on clubs. All club memberships will be displayed here.

You can also go into Quick Actions and scroll down to payments, then click on invoices to see what time slots you have booked as well.

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

Yes, parents can book sessions whenever they need them, up to 1 hour before the start time of the session.

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 breakfast club is needed on the first day or after school is needed on the last day.

9. My child is in Year 6 and I pay all my fees by Childcare vouchers or Tax Free Credits. 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 or Tax Free Credits. 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
