Q – Are you insured?
A – Yes. We have public liability insurance up to £5 million. However, we do point out that it is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure that there is responsible and suitable adult supervision of the equipment and those using it, at all times. You should always consider the appropriate ratio of children on the equipment to the number of adult supervisors assisting them. You will be required to sign our Terms and Conditions Form before hiring the equipment.Whilst the equipment is with you, the Hirer, we do not take any responsibility for loss/damage/soiling or or any accidents that may occur. And we recommend that you take out your own insurance for the day.
​
Q – How long does it take you to set up?
A – Depending on access to the location, it takes approximately 30 minutes to set up the soft play equipment. Bicester Soft Play will advise at the time of booking if more time is needed.
​
Q – What preparations do I need to make before you arrive?
A – Clear access to where the soft play equipment is to be set up, is required. The ground/floor space needs to be at least 5 metres x 5 metres (although our interlocking mats can fit most unusually shaped spaces) and should be a flat and even surface, clear of any sharp objects. We will be able to set up more quickly and enable you to get on and enjoy the play area if you make sure the area is fully clear before our arrival.
