Little Seaside Town is extremely excited to be opening! We have been working hard to ensure that we are a Covid-19 safe play area and have been putting the necessary measures in place to keep our future customers safe. Please read below information which explains our measures to keep everyone safe at Little Seaside Town.
- Increased cleaning-Cleaning will take place before, during and after all sessions. Sessions have been reduced from 2.5 hours to 2 hours. This allows all staff members 1 hour of cleaning between sessions. High frequency touch points and props will be cleaned by staff throughout sessions.
- At the end of each working day, a thorough deep clean will take place by all staff members. In addition to this an antibacterial fogging device will be used daily,which works by expelling a fine mist into the atmosphere, this settles on all surfaces, including those hard to reach by conventional cleaning methods. This spray is designed to kill 99.9% of bacteria.
- Toy cleaning box-a box will be provided for any props that have been placed near a child’s face/mouth, parents are encouraged to place all used toys in this box for staff to wash and sanitise before returning for next usage.
