COVID19 UPDATE 23/03/20
Dear Parents/Carers,
We would like to assure all of our valued families that we are working hard to make sure that we can stay open for key worker and vulnerable children, ensure that Zebras can keep operating as a non-profit business during these challenging times, and support all of you as best we can.
After the Easter holiday, we are not planning to charge parents for any existing bookings that they are unable to use as a result of COVID-19 restrictions. Once we are able to secure government backing to ensure Zebras can continue to run we will be able to confirm this.
You do not need to cancel any existing bookings at this time, and if you have cancelled a booking because of concerns over this matter, we will be happy to reinstate them for you. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Thank you for your on-going support,
Lyn Collins, Lisa Collins and the Zebra's Team
