Chapel Gate/BU Sports Campus, Parley, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 6BL

Follow the signs for Bournemouth International Airport. Chapel Gate is situated in East Parley, on the left-hand side of the airport on Parley Lane (B3073) to the west of the Airport. Park in front of the Chapel Gate Main Reception (site map located at the back of this pack).

When you sign your child in at reception you will need to give a collection password to the staff member (required for when you pick your child up). This is to ensure your child goes home with the designated person.

Yes – you will need to complete a walk home form prior to attending the first session and send this to SportBU. You must ensure your child is able to walk home sensibly as you take responsibility for your child walking home.

If your child is unable to attend due to sickness or requirement to isolate, we will be able to issue a credit note for future camps. Please call us at SportBU reception ASAP to arrange and we will try to assist you.

If your child is unable to attend at all for any other reason, please call SportBU or email Rosie – [email protected] ASAP. As per our terms and conditions state that we require 28 days’ notice for cancellations however we may be able to issue a credit note where reasonable notice has been given or we have been able to offer the space to another child.

Unfortunately we are not OFSTED registered so we are unable to receive payment through childcare vouchers.

For 5-7yrs it is 8:1 coach. For 8-14yrs it is 12:1 coach.

We understand some children may find the prospect of attending anything new a bit daunting. To ease any potential worries all children are greeted at registration and introduced to the coaching team and other children through ice breaker games and a welcome talk. Children will enjoy the days programme in groups of similar ages where they can spend time with existing friends and make new ones too!
