CARER

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY CARER?

A carer is a parent, guardian or adult responsible for supervising the party children and a touchpoint for us. We recommend that carers are present for the duration of your party. Carers are there to ensure the kids are all in attendance during each activity, escort the kids to the bathroom and ensure they are behaving appropriately in the venue. If there is a problem the host will inform the carers, so it is necessary to remain in the venue to be able to supervise the party.
