Payment Questions

What payment options are there on your website?

We use the payment gateway Stripe which ensures you have a secure and fast way to pay using your debit or credit card. Schools and nurseries can be sent an invoice for bulk orders and can pay via bank transfer or check.

What is the price difference for buying a book between subscribers of the Activity Hub and non-subscribers?

All single books are priced at £4.99 for non-members and £3 for members. There are also discounts on all book bundles if you are a member meaning you can save a considerable amount with each purchase

How are refunds handled?

If physical books are damaged in transit you must send us photographic evidence of any damage and either replacement books will be sent out or a refund will be issued. Membership refunds are not given as instant benefits are received as soon as payment goes through. You will be sent a reminder email that your membership will renew and you will get the opportunity to cancel before it does.

Activity Hub Questions

Is the Activity Hub subscription worth it?

Yes - it is a real bargain! For just £19.99 FOR THE WHOLE YEAR (!!) you not only get access to 19 storybooks in video format, printable linking resources & activities, topic-based activities AND EYFS training material, but you'll also get HUGE shop discounts automatically when you log in!

With the cost of print increasing we knew we had to raise the prices of our books. However, by creating this subscription we have managed to keep books for subscribers at the same low prices, whilst giving you LOADS of added value. This means you really aren't out of pocket at all! 

How much is it to join the Activity Hub and how is payment taken?
