What an amazing first week of the summer holidays it’s been at My Playful World! 💚
This time last year I was on holiday with my parents and Josef, trying to work out the finer details of purchasing My Playful World… with very limited signal! 😂 Looking back now, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come.
We’ve been so busy every single day this week, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful to every family who has walked through our doors. Whether you’ve visited with grandparents, come as a childminder, met friends halfway or enjoyed a coffee while the little ones played, thank you for choosing to spend your time with us.
A huge thank you to Becci from Debutots for another fantastic Under the Sea session and to my amazing (but mighty!) team, Tash and Amelia, for being the smiling faces of My Playful World. I always know everything is in safe hands when I’m not there.
I even managed one of my very rare days off this week for a little trip to London with Josef and my incredible mum. ❤️ Behind the scenes she’s the one washing and drying mountains of cloths, doing emergency food shopping runs, stepping in when staff are off and most importantly, spending time with Josef while I’m at work. I genuinely couldn’t do this without her, and I’m so grateful for everything she does.
Just a few little reminders as we head into another busy week…
-Please book your places in advance wherever possible. During the holidays we often reach full capacity and I’d hate to have to turn anyone away because we simply don’t have the space for walk-ins.
-We kindly ask that only food and drinks purchased from our café are consumed on the premises. This helps us manage allergens safely, supports our small business and helps keep our doors open. We also cater for a wide range of allergies and dietary requirements, so please just ask.
-My Playful World is designed for children under the age of 7. Older siblings are absolutely welcome but we do ask that they remain seated with an activity they’ve brought from home. We had a lovely boy visit this week who came armed with his iPad, headphones and a few bits to keep himself entertained and it worked brilliantly.
Owning a small business is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but weeks like this remind me exactly why I took the leap.
Thank you for every booking, every coffee, every slice of cake, every recommendation and every kind word. Every bit of support means more than you know.
Here’s to another week of making memories at My Playful World! ☀️💚
