We need this petition to start gaining momentum. If you ever use indoor play facilities, please sign, it takes only 30 seconds but would make a massive difference to the whole industry.

If your child spends the day playing at a nursery, they're VAT exempt (and also usually part-funded), but for that same child to play anywhere else, you must pay 20% VAT. Child's play shouldn't be taxed!

Please share the link to all your friends too 😊

We want the Government to permanently zero rate VAT from admissions to children's indoor play centres to make active play more affordable, improve access for families and support children's health, well-being and development.

After what feels like a never-ending summer, we're finally back onto OFF-Peak days! Some schools may still have inset days but Mendip is officially back to school.

A single, 5-hour session, 9.30am - 2.30pm. Pay at the door, or it's slightly cheaper if you pre-book 😊

All the talk at the moment is about reducing VAT on pubs, but most people don't realise that children's play is taxed? If anything shouldn't be classed as a luxury, it's child's play! Please sign our industry petition, it takes 30 seconds 😊

EDIT: as of midday today, only 4 chairs are remaining, as 4 have since been reserved 😊

_________________________________________

We've recently replaced our hi-chairs, and as always, we'd much prefer to find a new home for any old equipment, rather than simply throwing it away.

So we have 8x old 'Bolero' wooden hi-chairs available for free. They're well used, in various conditions, but still perfectly fine for domestic use, with some very minor maintenance (the picture is of a brand new Bolero chair, for reference only).

If anyone is interested please just message or call us to arrange collection 😊
