We are now open!!

Whilst closed due to COVID-19 the play centre has undergone a thorough deep clean. We have adopted new measures to keep our customers and staff safe. Please be patient whilst we all get used to this new way of working. 

*All staff will be temperature checked when they arrive to work to ensure they are well.

*Face masks, under the Government guidelines, must be worn for anyone over 11 years old at all times, unless eating and drinking. 

*We have perspective screens at the till point to help with social distancing. 

*Hand sanitiser will be located in the entrance and we ask everyone to use this when entering and leaving. Hand Sanitiser stations are also dotted around the play centre. 

*High touch points will receive extra attention using cleaning products that have been checked and verified as effective against Covid-19. 

*Our staff have been fully trained on new cleaning protocols and the measures needed to keep themselves and our guests safe. 

*We now offer pre-bookable time slots of two hour sessions, you can call us or message us to reserve your slot. Time slots are 9:30-11:30, 12-2 and 2:30-4:30.

*We are limiting the number of guests who can use the play centre at any one time. 

*There will be a dedicated member of staff who will be cleaning out the toilets as well as any high risk areas throughout the day. 

*A deep clean at the end of each day will take place.

We look forward to welcoming you all back!
