"Character is the real foundation of all worthwhile success"
John Hays Hammond
Nurturing Character
We help children fly by giving them the skills they need to grow, develop and thrive in a changing world because we believe that children should be skilled for life as well as being schooled in the classroom. To do this, we offer individual creative childcare to support childrens’ passions. We also provide courses that give children some of the key skills to succeed in the 21st century; leadership, resilience, teamwork and creativity. We approach everything in a way that’s serious fun.

5. Transport

However if a Session continues beyond midnight then the Customer will be obliged to provide the Role Model with funds for a taxi fare to the Role Model’s home
5.2 In cases where the Role Model chooses to use their own car for transporting the children at their own risk the Customer will be obliged to reimburse the Role Model by way of a mileage charge at the rate of 45p per mile. All sums due by Customers for taxis or mileage should be provided directly to the Role Model by the Customer
6. Responsibilities of the Customer
6.1 Once a Role Model arrives to start a Session, the Customer is required to explain any matters in relation to the house or the Customer’s child that the Role Model ought to be aware. The Customer is also required to confirm whether the Role Model is allowed to use any electronic equipment in the house, such as the microwave or television, during the session
6.2 Throughout the duration of the Session, the Role Model shall be deemed to be under the exclusive direction and control of the Customer. The Customer agrees to be responsible for all acts and/or omissions of the Role Model and no liability will be attached to RMP for any loss, damage, expense arising therefrom or for the negligence, dishonesty, misconduct or lack of skill of the Role Model
