COVID – 19

We’ve made some important changes to how we operate to protect and reassure you during activities. Although things will be a little different, we hope it will be as fun as ever.

Cleaning protocols will be carried out at regular intervals throughout the day and all equipment will be sanitised between activities.
Regular handwashing with running water and soap throughout the day, including on arrival, before and after eating and after using the toilets. Hand sanitiser will be available at all times.
Do not attend if your child or anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19 or has the symptoms.
If your child becomes ill or show symptoms of COVID-19 whilst on-site, they’ll be isolated, and you will be informed as soon as possible and asked to collect your child.
We are continuing to take our lead from, and follow the advice of, the Scottish Government/Public Health Scotland.
