点评:Mixed feelings about Kidz Planet. We go because the kids absolutely love it and it's the only one local to us.
On arrival this time, we were met with an incredibly rude woman who didn't hide her feelings about us not having pre booked. It instantly put my sister in a bad mood however we are not the sort to cause a scene (it would have warranted it!). As said by others - if you are going to be miserable, rude and unapproachable then don't work with kids or in a kids setting.
We don't book for a reason - As with A LOT of young children, you don't know how they will be on a future date. Sometimes they wake up and are just not in the mood for it. Not to mention illness, tempers, tiredness etc. I'm sure most parents would agree that you don't know what mood your child will be in until the day!
My son also has SEN so there is no predicting if he will be in the right mindset for a busy day out.
The play equipment is great and always nice and clean. I love that there are separate areas for different aged kids. Unfortunately (and personally this is a big one for me) there is nobody to manage the separate areas and my smallest was repeatedly getting knocked over by older kids and kicked in the back when getting off the slides. This isn't so bad for an older kid however he's only small and having a large kid slam into the back of a small two year old was dangerous and quite unpleasant for him.
Considering how much is charged for entry (including adults!) you'd think there would be enough money to employ staff to monitor the areas and keep the children safe when playing.
Food was fine, all nice easy 'kids' stuff. Although the queue was huge due to only one girl serving, the food came very quickly and was nice and hot. Cutlery is luck of the draw - There are some plastic spoons but no plastic forks were available or have been on previous visits.
All in all the fun had by the kids definitely out ways the negatives noticed by the adults.
The absolute biggest issue is the safety of the younger kids in the areas meant just for them. I would definitely bring the kids more if I didn't have to constantly stress that older kids wouldn't be ripping through the under 4s and 2s sections. I understand that it is my responsibility to keep my children safe however it isn't always possible when you can't control other people's kids.
翻译:对 Kidz Planet 的感情很复杂。我们去是因为孩子们非常喜欢它,而且这是我们当地唯一的一家。
这次抵达时,我们遇到了一位非常粗鲁的女士,她没有隐藏她对我们没有提前预订的感受。这立刻让我姐姐心情不好,但我们不是那种会引起骚乱的人(这是有道理的!)。正如其他人所说,如果你表现得痛苦、粗鲁、难以接近,那么就不要与孩子一起工作或在儿童环境中工作。
我们不预订是有原因的——就像很多年幼的孩子一样,你不知道他们将来的约会会怎么样。有时他们醒来后只是没有心情。更不用说疾病、脾气、疲倦等。我相信大多数父母都会同意,直到那一天你都不知道你的孩子会是什么心情!
我儿子也有特殊教育需要,所以无法预测他是否能以正确的心态度过忙碌的一天。
游乐设施很棒而且总是干净整洁。我喜欢为不同年龄的孩子提供单独的区域。不幸的是(就我个人而言,这对我来说是一件大事)没有人来管理单独的区域,而我最小的孩子经常被年龄较大的孩子撞倒,并在离开滑梯时被踢到背部。对于一个年龄较大的孩子来说,这并不是那么糟糕,但他还很小,让一个大孩子撞到一个两岁小孩子的背上是危险的,而且对他来说非常不愉快。
考虑到入场费(包括成人!),您会认为有足够的钱雇用工作人员来监控这些区域并确保孩子们在玩耍时的安全。
食物很好,都是很简单的“儿童”东西。虽然由于只有一个女孩服务而排了很长的队,但食物来得很快而且又美味又热。餐具很幸运——有一些塑料勺子,但没有塑料叉子,或者在之前的访问中没有。
总而言之,孩子们所享受的乐趣绝对超过了成年人注意到的负面因素。
绝对最大的问题是年幼的孩子在专门为他们设计的区域的安全。如果我不必不断强调年龄较大的孩子不会在 4 岁以下和 2 岁以下的区域中大吃一惊,我肯定会带孩子们更多。我知道保护我的孩子的安全是我的责任,但是当您无法控制别人的孩子时,这并不总是可能的。
