We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone for your overwhelming support, heartfelt gratitude, and for the many happy memories you’ve shared with us here on Facebook. Wild Kidz has been a huge part of so many families lives over the years and we are still so shocked and saddened that we have had to close.
Thank you also to those who have offered to assist us and for the many suggestions of ways to keep our business open. We have however been working with 3 major insurance brokers and play centre specialists over the past month with no success. We were rejected by 16 different insurance underwriters and did our absolute best to exhaust the market. Due to the specifics of what we offer such as trampolines and electric cars, we have been told that we are deemed to be higher risk and therefore no offers of public liability insurance have been made to us. Other play centres with basic climbing structures may be viewed differently by insurers.
The question has been asked if we were unable to afford the public liability insurance, this was not the issue that we faced, the issue was that we were unable to obtain an offer for cover.
We recognise that this in not just a loss for us and our staff, but also for our community. In this difficult time we ask that you focus on the good times spent and memories made, and look to how you can support the play centre’s that are still operating in our community.
Thank you again for all of your support.
