We are Soft Play owners & want to get into contact with other UK based Soft Play owners - Our industry needs HELP #covid19 #pandemic

@LeeHillORM Lots of changes to every soft play venue to meet new guidelines. More info can be found here - https://t.co/1rSx4pXrHM BTW I'm missing cinema visits & treats

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@LeeHillORM Sounds like you're making it up haha. Softplay is opening, but not as we know it. Ball pits are no more, very limited numbers - 100sq feet per PERSON in the building. So normally 5000sqf would easily accommodate 160-180 people new rules means max 50(staff too) people for 5000sqf

@Scallywagsni I thought NI had open dates. Are you a member of belppa or similar? We're in Greater Manchester, so still in lockdown personaly. Who's the person in government over there we need to tweet? Lets get some pressure on them.

Getting ready to reopen our #softplay, with lots of help & support from John & his team at @ampdirector123. They come up with creative solutions every time we have an issue. They design, build & maintain play equipment. They truly are a great company. #Professional #thanks

New additions from admainplayltd
Soft play wall padding.
Simplistic but very eye catching, certainly adds the "WOW FACTOR" to any indoor adventure play system.

@Angiewa79936361 @SoftPlayOwners @TonyWoodbury I suggest you speak to your public liability insurer as well as the LA before reopening - if there is confusion over which guidelines apply.

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@Angiewa79936361 @TrojanH97209399 @TonyWoodbury Yorkshire for you, not like that in Gods county Lancashire 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, best waiting. Probably not many be ready to open tomorrow.

@byameliahill @Angiewa79936361 @CapitalNENews @OliverDowden @RishiSunak @PHE_uk @SHARPY1862 can you handle more news coverage?

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@Angiewa79936361 @TrojanH97209399 @TonyWoodbury Yeah, we've just been contacted by our local Environmental Health team. You should speak to them first and ask what guidance they want you to adhere to

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@softplaymabo I'm 80% sure, i will have to check the guidelines later. Facebook have a free system you can use. Search it on YouTube

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@DaveKGD I think you'll need to speak to the Environmental Health team at your local authority. For some reason there isn't a consensus on whats allowed in England in regards to events and parties, each local authority are enforcing different standards. Good luck

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@LauraSummers Most centres removed them before the official closing of Soft Play by government. The guidelines have outlined they MUST go for us to reopen. I for one am glad about it, cleaning our balls is daily task we'll not miss! :)

[Soft Play UK @SoftPlayOwners]

@LauraSummers Here's the very strict guidelines we, the soft play industry, must adhere too. I think you'll be plesently surprised what cleaning regimes we had before covid19, never mind the new regulations. Hopefully this we help any concerns - https://t.co/FzBE4HhZeY thanks
