Afternoon, i am trying to find out the policy now with the new booking system, if we book a site during december and pay the deposit what happens if it snows and we are unable to travel does that mean we would loose our deposit? as it would be less than 21 days.

It's something that will always devide folk, is it safe for me to drive to ***** only you can decide that.
How confident are you on snow and ice, do you have the correct tyres fitted, do you have a 4x4 and know how to use it.
When I was working folk would drive into work from miles away in terrible conditions, however they felt able to do so.
Others that lived in the nearest village would phone in and say they couldn't make it. The official policy across all offices was that if you were unable to drive in and you lived less than 1.5 mls away then you should attempt to walk.
The office I worked in was about 1.5 mls from the nearest village, however in was in the countryside, no pavements so you would have had to walk on the road. Not a good idea when roads are ice underneath the snow. Our office took the policy its up to the individual, we got 3 snow days a year after that you had to take annual leave.
I would hope nowadays that most workers have proved working from home is an option this policy has changed.
I wouldn't set out from home if the weather was bad and forecast to remain so for a few days.

At this time of year I would only book and pay a deposit to tow a caravan to a campsite when I had an accurate weather forecast - that is no more than two or three days in advance.
But a snug cottage with a good stock of dry logs and a pub nearby is a different story.

Nothing to do with the distance the staff live from the school or indeed the children, it's the duty of care to them on site that matters. If the car park and school ground are too dangerous then that is it. Not worth a broken leg or worse.

But don’t don’t be a “no show”, otherwise you will be charged the full amount of the booked stay.
