Payments:
Group Courses
A non-refundable booking deposit of EUR50 is required to initially confirm your place on your chosen group Course.
The balance of the Course fee must be paid in full two weeks before the first session of the group Course. If payment is not made at this time, your place will be re-advertised.
Private Courses
A non-refundable booking deposit of €20 is required to initially confirm your place on your chosen private Course.
The balance of the Course fee must be paid in full two weeks before the first session of the private Course. If payment is not made at this time, your course dates will be re-advertised.
Payment must be made in full before your booking can be finally confirmed.
Course fees are non refundable except under exceptional circumstances.
Payment is made for a full course as advertised and not for individual sessions.
Flexible payment terms must be agreed in advance.
Refunds:
Due to the very high demand for these Courses, we have a strict refund policy to try to prevent people taking a place and then dropping out, thereby preventing someone else taking the place.
You will have a 14 day cooling-off period to cancel a booking, you must inform us by emailing nurtureandembrace@gmail.com and notice of this cancellation must be received by us on or before the expiry of the 14 day cooling-off period. The booking deposit of EUR50 and administration fees is non-refundable.
You may cancel your Course or session booking at any time by letting us know of the cancellation by email.
If you cancel more than six weeks before the start of the Course then you will receive a full refund of any monies paid, less EUR50 booking deposit and administration fees.
If you cancel between 14 working days and six weeks before the start of the Course we will refund 50% of any monies paid toward the total cost of the Course, less EUR50 booking deposit and administration fees.
If you cancel less than 14 working days before the start of the Course then NO refund will be given. However, under exceptional circumstances (i.e. should your baby arrive before the first Course date (evidence of date of birth will be required) as long as you contact us to tell us, as soon as is reasonably practicable), we can offer a full refund of any monies paid, less EUR50 booking deposit and administration fees, at any point up until the Course begins.
A partial refund of any monies paid may be offered for any unattended Course sessions due to your baby being born unexpectedly, as long as you contact us to tell us, as soon as is reasonably practicable. You will not be refunded for any Course sessions that you have already attended.
After you have attended the first Course, no refunds will be offered of any monies paid.
If the government legally imposes movement restrictions due to Coronavirus, group and private Course will be offered virtually on the same date and time.
If you decide not to attend a Course which is running due to Coronavirus, no refund will be offered of any monies paid.
No partial refunds or discounts will be offered retrospectively.
For participants taking a private one to one course, 48 hours notice must be given by you in changing appointment dates or times.
We require a minimum number of participants to run group Courses. If this number has not been met, we reserve the right to cancel the Course and an alternative date or full refund will be offered of any monies paid.
If for any reason we need to reschedule a session you will be given as much prior notice as possible. In the rare case that a Course venue needs to be altered, a new venue will be found nearby. In this situation no refund will be offered of any monies paid.
Under exceptional circumstances, we may need to cancel your booking. If we do we will always try to offer you a suitable alternative. If you choose not to accept this, we will offer you a full refund of any monies paid.
We reserve the right to amend or cancel any Course, Course times, dates or published prices. Changes to Course price, times and dates will be advised before the Course start date. All prices maybe subject to change without notice and are not guaranteed, except prices for services already booked as shown.
Any local pay and display parking costs will be payable by you and are not included in the Course cost.
Lunch is not included in the Course cost.
Please note that once payment has been made, your ticket is non-transferrable. This means that if for some reason you cannot attend and are not entitled to a refund of any monies paid, you cannot put the money towards anything else with Nurture and Embrace, including events or other Course.
Courses are intended for expectant parents or expectant mother/birthing person and their birth partner. Other individuals are not authorised to attend the Course.
If you cancel a booking and are entitled to a refund, we will usually refund you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. We will process the refund as soon as possible and, at the most, within 7 days of the day we received your valid notice of cancellation. Once we have processed the refund, it may take 5-10 working days for the refund to be back in your account.

We advertise our Courses and other services on our website at www.nurtureandemnrace.com (the “Website”). We may use a third-party website to process your booking.
Please note, when you click on the “Pay” button this becomes a contractual offer between us and you. A contract will be formed between us on the date that you receive our confirmation email.
