WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISION

Parents/guardians must supervise their children at all times. Please inform your older children of the basic rules of play to ensure a safe visit for all. Please pay specific attention to ensure older children do not play in the area designated for younger children and “nought to walk” areas. These are clearly labelled. Our staff are around to help make your visit enjoyable and to assist in any way they can.

In line with the local Environmental Health Officers (EHO) and our public liability insurance, adults are not permitted to leave the centre whilst their children are playing. One adult (per family group), who is 18 years or over must be present in the play barn at all times.

DO HAVE ANY RULES OF PLAY AND A BEHAVIOURAL POLICY?

Yes! Our rules of play are clearly displayed in the play barn. You can also find them HERE

Because we want your children to enjoy their experience at Oaty and Joey’s,we will not tolerate abuse, anti-social or inappropriate behaviour or bad language at any time from adults or children. Our number one priority is to ensure the safety of all children.

MAY I BRING MY OWN FOOD AND DRINK?

We do not allow any food or drink which is not purchased from us to be consumed in the premises. We have an extensive menu covering a wide range of tastes for both adults and children of all ages, including healthy options. The profit from our food sales, enables us to offer lower entrance prices than most other soft play centres of this size. The only exception would be for baby food or special dietary needs due to medical reasons. 

MAY I TAKE PHOTOS OF MY CHILDREN?

You may take photos of your children provided that you ensure only your children are in the photo. Video is not permitted except in your own private party room with the consent of the parents of other children.

AFTER I HAVE PAID FOR ADMISSION, HOW LONG MAY I STAY?

You can stay as long as you wish BUT due to our capacity restrictions, you may be limited to 2 hours in the main Play Barn. You will be informed if this applies on entry.

WHAT DOES A PARTY HOST DO?

Your party host will greet all your party guests and make sure that the Birthday child feels extra special.

They will also make announcements, play birthday music,  serve your food, cut your cake if required and generally ensure the smooth running of your party so that your expectations are surpassed.

DO I GET A REDUCED PRICE IF CHILDREN DO NOT SHOW UP ON THE DAY?

Unfortunately, once you have confirmed your party numbers, we cannot offer refunds.

CAN I MAKE SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS?

We will always endeavour to meet your requirements, however, our busy kitchens handle a wide range of foods with many ingredients containing allergens. If your child has a severe allergy, please email us prior to booking in order for us to assess and discuss the situation with you.

CAN ADULTS EAT AT THE PARTY?

Our adult snacking platter selections are very popular as a treat for your adult guests. Please see adult extras in the party booking section.

MAY WE HAVE A LONGER PARTY?

For logistical reasons all of our daytime parties are of 2 hours duration. One way of extending your party is to enjoy our open-barn facilities after your indoor party is over. It’s a great ending to any party. We have trampolines, race track, coin operated rides and games on offer. You may also wish to round off the day with a game of mini golf.
Exclusive use parties sometimes can be extended by 30 minute segments at a pro rata rate of the 2 hour base charge. Please phone for availability if you are interested in this. 

MAY I BRING A PINATA?

Due to risk of injuries we do not allow Piñatas to be brought into the play barn. We do offer a safer, fun equivalent called a “Goodie Gusher”, please see party optional extras for details.
