Great news; as all YMCA Camps and Clubs are Ofsted registered and classified as childcare, you save money on the cost by paying with Childcare Vouchers (CCV) or the Government’s Tax-Free Childcare scheme (TFC).
Deciding to pay by CCV or TFC amounts to accepting to buy a service and will be subject to relevant booking conditions.
We can also accept payment by credit or debit card for any of our services. If you need any further information that isn’t covered below, call our team for advice: 01489 785228.
