  • Notice period given (date of customer email notification) / Reduce Fee:
    > More than 3-weeks before camp start date, by 6pm the Friday before, we offer either ‘No-Quibble 100% Refund less bank charge (if applicable)’, or ‘100% Credit value towards a future camp booking’.
    > Less than 3-weeks, to 6pm the Friday before camp start date: we offer either ‘50% Refund less bank charge (if applicable)’, or ‘50% Credit value towards a future camp booking’.
    > Less than 6pm the Friday before camp start date, and once the camp has started: ‘no-refund’ or ‘credit’.

  • We can not refund Cancelled bookings due to:
    > Child behavioural issues
    > Travel Disruption (either planned or un-planned)
    > Force Majeure
  • Credits for cancelled individual days are not Credited in lieu, but as ‘individual day rates’ e.g. if you pay ÂŁ395 for a discounted full week 5-day camp and you cancel 2 of 5 days, the remaining 3 days you are still attending will be at ÂŁ90 per day, meaning ÂŁ90*3 =ÂŁ270.00 so a refund of ÂŁ125 will be issued (ÂŁ395-ÂŁ270(3*ÂŁ90)).
  • Credit on file can be used within 12 months of original purchase, and only for MNS Holiday Camps (not for MNS Parties etc)

We do not charge an administration fee but some GP practices may charge you to issue a note. Siblings of the injured or ill child on the same booking and with it will also be credited in full if they cancel the same days as their brother/sister. Credits do not insure or cover personal property.
  • Bright Horizons, BackUpCare, SchoolHolidayCover, MyFamilyCare are accepted but the ‘cash value’ of which cannot be ‘credited against’ the pricing and discount benefits received for ‘online-only’ automated website online single-payment transaction for consecutive 5-day bookings, they can only be treated as a separate booking ‘day units’ as they incur considerable extra internal administrative cost to process. Any additional remaining days booked (for either an incomplete or full-week booking) are treated as a separate booking transaction and thus chargeable at the additional days booked at the flat ÂŁ90 individual day-rate(+ÂŁ10 per day extended hours, if required).

  • Party Extras Policy
    Party Extras (party bags, children etc.) are required to be confirmed and paid for a minimum 2-weeks before the party date. No extras can be guaranteed after this point but we will always try to provide these if possible.
    All Party Extras are paid for in advance i.e. we will charge you for the maximum quantity of Party Extras upfront, then refund you for any unused Party Bags or Children (see below clarification and exemptions.
    Unused-Party Extras Refund Guarantee: Mother Nature Science will refund you in full for any used Party Bags or Children within 5 working days of the party date.

  • Congestion zone / ULEZ charge ÂŁ12.50 (to be added to your final party balance, or paid for with cash on the day)
  • Exact numbers of children attending must be confirmed. Unless we are notified 2 weeks before your party, we shall assume that your confirmed final number is as stated in the “Estimated No. of Children Attending” section of the booking form. Your confirmed final number is the minimum number for which you will be charged.
  • Any changes to the standard party offer must be discussed and agreed at the time of booking and confirmed in writing by the customer.
  • All prices and costs listed here are inclusive of VAT and a VAT invoice will be issued upon request.
  • Balance of payments is due 2 weeks before the party. The operations team will call circa 1 week before the party to re-confirm final details.

  • Although our instructors are thoroughly DBS checked and highly trained, children must not be left alone with the instructor and we insist on a legal guardian or responsible adult being present at all times. Neither must our instructors be asked to accompany children to the toilet nor assist with feeding.
  • We regret that Mother Nature Science does not provide food, drink or birthday cakes.
  • If at any time the instructor deems that the behaviour of one or more children is likely to cause danger or disruption, the instructor can reasonably request they are controlled or removed and, if this doesn’t happen, cease the presentation until the situation is resolved or terminate the presentation with no recourse to credit.
  • The presentations are based around enquiry based fun learning which demands an interchange of questions and answers between the Instructor and the children. We have found that this is not possible when the ambient noise level is too high such as parents chatting or music systems played at too high a level. In the event that presenters cannot interchange with the children, there will be no recourse to credit for unsatisfactory delivery.
  • In the event that the child, or any of the guests, have already seen a Mother Nature Science Party, it is advisable to let us know the host and date of that party. We have different party programmes and can provide material that has not been seen before. Of course, if a child has seen a particular programme and would like to see it again we are happy to oblige.
  • Mother Nature Science provides much of its programming in schools both in the classroom, at Assemblies and in After-School Clubs and Summer/Half Term Clubs. Children who have attended any of these programmes will realise that the Birthday Parties are higher octane whilst still providing enquiry based learning and fun. If you are interested in seeing Mother Nature Science in your child’s school please let us know the name of the school.
  • ‘Un-booked Party Extension Fee’: if on the day you make un-booked party breaks, extend booked breaks or extend the party duration, you will be immediately charged an ‘Un-booked Party Extension Fee’ at ÂŁ2 per minute and sent a pay-by-link in the week following your party for the grand total.
