Childcare is costly. That is a fundamental fact of life in 2023. But as a childcare company we are working with parents to make sure that they can afford clubs and wraparound services for their children because all children deserve to be able to access fun, high quality clubs!
One way that we are making sure our payments system is flexible is the fact that we can accept tax-free childcare credits/money. As an Ousted registered company tax-free childcare (childcare costs that are in part subsidised by the government- for every £8 paid into the account by parents £2 is paid by the government up to a limit of £2000 a year) can be used to pay for our services. When paying using tax-free childcare it sometimes takes a few days to reconcile the payment on our magic booking system- but please don’t panic, any balance that may appear to be outstanding or overdue is swiftly rectified once the account has updated after a day or two! If in the meantime you need to make further bookings, contact us via email* and we can extend the credit amount on your account.

During half terms and school holidays we can frequently offer discounted day places due to the venues we are working at receiving Sports Premium funding. Along with this, during our longer holiday camps- such as summer holiday camps- we can allocate HAF places for children.
HAF stands for Holiday Activities and Food program and has been in use by the government since 2018. The program is designed to give children who are already in receipt of free school meals the opportunity to go to organised out of school activities. The aims of the program are simple:
- To help children eat healthier over the school holidays.
- To encourage/provide physical activities for over the school holidays.
- To enrich the child’s life and build resilience, oversee well-being and grow character.
- To develop an understanding of good nutrition and the importance of physical activity in mental and physical health.
These are all aims that we have pledged to meet, and as such, we can allocate a certain number of HAF places per camp/venue. For more information on HAF please click here.
We make it clear ahead of our camps whether or not we are able to offer HAF spaces, and bookings can be made once parents have received their allocated credits directly from the HAF program; these usually come via text.
Flexibility is a fundamental underpinning of Fiesta Sports Coaching, we offer single bookings and termly/block bookings to suit your needs, along with a variety of designated child drop off and collection times to choose from. Our bookings can even be made up to an hour/half an hour (at some venues) before the session you want to book your child onto starts. This means that whether you want to pay for one booking, or if you can pay for a whole term, there is flexibility in what you can pay.
Fiesta has a flexible payment plan! Adults need to pay a certain amount at the time they book the session(s) and then there is flexibility on when and the amounts to be paid- so long as the whole payment is settled by the time of the last session, the rest is up to you! This way of paying for sessions and clubs really helps to make it more accessible for many parents. If you have any questions regarding this payment method, please do not hesitate to contact us via email*.
At most of our returning venues we have been able to keep our prices the same per child per session as they were last year. We wanted to help parents to be able to continue sending their child to enriching, entertaining, engaging experiences; even though our competitors put their prices up, ours stayed the same! We are dedicated to providing enriching, engaging clubs and wraparound for children- so why not try our services today?!
