Theatre Kidz – Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does my child get to the class after school?
At the end of the school day, your child will go straight from their classroom to the school hall (or allocated space). Their class teacher or school staff will safely hand them over to the Theatre Kidz team.
There’s no need to collect your child at the normal school finish time — we’ve got it covered!
2. What should my child wear?
Children should wear comfortable clothing they can move in, such as
leggings, joggers, or shorts.
• Theatre Kidz T-shirt (if they have one) or all-black clothing
• Trainers or plimsolls are ideal
3. What does my child need to bring?
Please send your child with:
• A named water bottle
• A small, nut-free snack for before the session
(fruit, crackers, or a cereal bar work well)
4. How much do the classes cost and how are payments taken?
On average, classes work out at around £5.50 per hour, though this may
vary slightly by school.
Fees are charged monthly and calculated on a pro-rata basis, as some months include more or fewer sessions due to school holidays. This balances out fairly across the year.
• Payments are collected via Autopay on the 7th of each month
• No payment is taken in August
To enrol, please log into the Parent Portal:

5. What happens in a Theatre Kidz class?
Each session is fun, high-energy, and confidence-boosting. Children take part in:
• Drama games
• Singing and vocal warm-ups
• Dance routines
• Creative performance work
Our focus is on confidence, creativity, teamwork, and making sure every child feels included and has fun.
6. What if my child needs to cancel Theatre Kidz? Theatre Kidz classes run on a monthly basis.
If you wish to cancel your child’s place, please let us know before the end of the month.
If notice is given during a month, that month will still be charged in full.
Your child can continue attending until the end of that month. We will then:
• Remove them from the register
• Cancel their Autopay
• No further payments will be taken
Your child is always very welcome to return to Theatre Kidz in the future.
7. What happens if Theatre Kidz cancels a class?
Cancellations by Theatre Kidz are very rare.
If a session does need to be cancelled, the missed class will be credited to your account and automatically used against the following month’s bill.
8. What happens if my child is absent?
If your child is unable to attend a session, there is no need to let us know
(unless it’s a long-term absence).
As places are reserved and staffed in advance, we’re unable to offer refunds or credits for missed sessions due to illness, holidays, or other commitments.
9. Do you offer taster sessions?
Yes — we do offer taster sessions for new children, subject to availability.
Children will need to be registered for the class as normal. If they decide not to continue, we can remove them from the register and adjust the fee accordingly.
10. What time should I collect my child?
Collection is from the school hall (or designated collection point) at the
class finish time.
Please arrive promptly so we can safely hand children back to parents or carers.
11. What if someone else is collecting my child?
If someone different will be collecting your child, please ensure this is:
• Noted in your Parent Portal or
• Communicated to Theatre Kidz - info@theatrekidz.com
Children can only be released to authorised adults.
12. Are Theatre Kidz staff DBS-checked?
Yes. All Theatre Kidz teachers:
• Hold an enhanced DBS check
• Are on the DBS Update Service
• Receive regular safeguarding training
• Are fully insured and experienced in working with children
13. How many children are in each class?
Class sizes vary by school, but we carefully manage numbers to ensure a safe, high-quality experience.
Additional staff are added as numbers grow.
14. How do you handle medical needs or allergies?
All medical information and permissions should be added via the Parent Portal.
Please ensure this information is kept up to date, particularly for allergies, inhalers, or medical conditions.
15. Do Theatre Kidz put on shows or performances?
Yes. Theatre Kidz usually hold two performances per year, which take
place at school.
These shows are held during the school day, and parents are always
informed in advance with full details.
