Under our child safety policy, we cannot have 1 adult left alone with 1 child, so if you’re first to class and there’s only one instructor then you’ll need to stay until another instructor or another child arrives. In the extremely unusual example of where only your child arrives at class and only one instructor is present, you’d need to stay with your child. Otherwise you can leave your child and pick them up at the end of class. If your child needs help in the toilet, then you’d need to stay as our child safety procedure is to allow them to use the toilet alone. Please do not just drop your child without coming into the hall, this is against our child safety policy.
