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.

Please get in touch if you would like to see a copy of our risk assessment and procedures. We may have to change plans if the Scottish Government COVID-19 guidance changes.
