What you need to know:

  • Bookings: You do not need to pre-book your children. The first time they come to the playroom you simply fill out an enrolment form, and then every time you visit the playroom you sign them in and out. You will need your payment receipt or your membership card with you when you sign them in.
  • Sickness: In fairness to other children and the carers, please do not bring your child to the centre if he/she is sick or has recently had an infectious disease – including a cold.
  • Introducing your child to the playroom: New children to the playroom can take a few visits before settling in. If your child does not settle you may be collected from your activity within the centre. Be patient – most children settle in and then don’t want to leave.

Booking is required for this program. Maximum time is 1.5hrs. Parents must remain on the premises. Activities include ten pin bowling, swimming, art & craft, and more!
