Terms and Conditions of Play
All customers are required to ‘Book in Advance’ their play sessions. So please don’t just turn up as we hate to disappoint and you may be turned away.
Customers booking a play session agree to the following terms and conditions:
Our premises are only suitable for use by babies and toddlers up to their fourth birthday or one meter tall whichever comes soonest. Children outside of this criteria will not be allowed to enter our play area. For those bringing an older sibling along during the school holidays, you will need to book them as an adult and they will be required to remain seated in our cafe area to avoid breach of our insurance policy (aged 4-15). Additional adults are welcome and should be included in your booking. Babies are chargeable as we are a centre catering from birth. All babies and children must be accompanied by an adult aged 18+ and parents / guardians remain responsible for the supervision of their children whilst visiting.
Full payment will be required upon booking and playtime booking charges are non-refundable, so please be sure to book the correct session of your choice as we are unable to make changes without 3 working days notice. Booking changes may be subject to an admin fee. Please check your booking before completing as we are unable to take responsibility for customer mistakes.
Please be aware that sessions start and finish promptly. If arriving early, please wait in your vehicle until your session time commences. For late arrivers you must still leave at the end of your session time regardless of your arrival time.
Customers should not attend a play session if they are showing any signs of Covid-19 or have been unwell in the 7 days prior to visiting and we expect everyone to advise in advance by telephone if they are showing any of the known symptoms.
