At Dragon Club, all bookings are processed through our online booking system, iPAL. Once you register for an iPAL account, you'll receive guidance on setting up and managing your account. iPAL is utilised for all bookings and payments related to Dragon Club.

When registering for an account, be sure to select St. George's Dragon Club as your provider.

• All bookings must be made through iPAL to maintain a register and help manage attendee numbers and staff provision.

• Bookings for the Breakfast Club can be made until 8am on the day & After-school Club can be made until 7:30am on the day. Please note that bookings are subject to availability. If the spaces are full on a particular date, you can join the waiting list to be notified if a spot opens up.

• Parents and carers are responsible for managing their bookings. If bookings are not made and the provision is full, we cannot accept additional children. This policy ensures that our ratios are met and that we operate safely. It is also the responsibility of parents and carers to keep their children's account information updated, including any changes to medical or collection details. This can be done by clicking on the profile and selecting the children on the account.

• After booking, please carefully review your confirmation email. You can also view your bookings by visiting your calendar and seeing which dates and clubs you have booked. If you select an incorrect date and your child does not appear on our register, we will not be able to collect them. If the school reception needs to contact you and you want your child to come to the club, there may not be space available. You can review your bookings via your invoice or by accessing your calendar on iPAL.

• There is a 1-day (24 hours) cancellation period. You cannot swap days or cancel and receive a refund for any bookings within one day of the session. If you need to cancel during this period, please log in, click on the calendar, select the session date, and add a note (e.g., "not attending tonight") if your child will not be attending.

• Failure to book a session, which we need to do for you, may result in a £2 admin fee. This will be enforced for repeated failures to book.

Waiting List

We accept all childcare vouchers and Government Childcare Payment Schemes.

Our OFSTED number is 104995 (necessary for Universal Credit claims). Please remember that Universal Credit cannot be submitted as a voucher, as payment must be made before you can claim. Our system will not generate a paid invoice until invoices have been settled.

Add voucher payments to your wallet for flexibility with ad-hoc bookings . Alternatively, you can make a booking and choose to pay with a Childcare Voucher.

When paying with Childcare Vouchers, please follow these steps:

1. Book your place as outlined above. 

2. Select the payment option ‘Pay by voucher and other payment methods’. 

3. Submit your voucher details.

Voucher payments are transferred directly to our bank account approximately 3-5 days after you request the voucher.

If you opt for Government Tax-Free Childcare, you can follow the same booking process and, during the payment section, select ‘Pay by Gov Tax-Free’. You will need to provide your TFC ID and agree to link your iPAL to the portal. As long as there are available funds in your portal, this will automatically approve your vouchers during the booking process.
