Thank you for booking your party at ‘Speckled Hen Country Bakery’. To help ensure that every aspect of your visit is safe and enjoyable, we would like you to take a few moments to read the points below and to pass on the information provided to your guests.
- All our staff have been trained on how to move the children around the building and will highlight various safety points to the children during the party.
- The building is installed with a fire alarm system. Staff will advise the children and any adults who are staying, on how to proceed in the event of the alarms sounding. There is an assembly point on the yard which is clearly marked.
- Please take care on the narrow drive up to Hollins Farm as there are a number of sharp bends. It is also a public footpath with many walkers and their dogs, horses and bikes at the weekend. We recommend that no cars should travel above 30mph.
- On arrival at Hollins Farm, the home of ‘Speckled Country Bakery’, please follow the signs carefully and park in the designated areas.
- There are always a number of moving vehicles as the children are entering and leaving the bakery, please make sure that no child leaves the building unless they are accompanied by an adult. Our staff will only take responsibility for the children once they are within the building.
- Farms can be very dangerous places, therefore When moving between the car and the building please do not allow the children to go off and ‘explore’, or enter any of the other buildings around the farm.
- Although we take every care to ensure children are alerted to possible dangers they may encounter in the bakery and party barn such, as the equipment (in use and not in use) and possible risk of falls from running, we would ask that parents help, by ensuring that their children come appropriately dressed for the party activities. We recommend all long hair is tied back, that fitted clothing is worn and that on no account should shoes with wheels be on the children’s feet (the children will be using stairs).
- We ask that only the parent/grandparent/carer of the birthday child enters the kitchen area during the baking party (should they wish to do so). Too many adults can hinder movement around this area and also prevent children hearing instructions from staff. Siblings of the birthday child may take part if they are aged 4 or over and included in the party booking. No children of parents other than the birthday child may enter the kitchen area.
- If we feel that a child is putting themselves or others in danger, We reserve the right to ask the parent/carer in charge, to look after that child until the party has finished. Your child’s safety is our priority and we want everybody to go home having had a great time!
Thank you for your co-operation!
