I have 2 children however one is a baby and cannot take part in the session my older child is attending, what do i do? -  If your older child is attending a session that your baby cannot join in for example, "big chef, little chef", or certain special events then parents are welcome to bring along their babies free of charge. If you are planning on bringing your baby to your older child's session, please contact us to let us know prior, thank you!

Can i just turn up to a session without booking? - Here at Inside Out we try to make your experience with us as personal as possible in order to make you and your child/children feel comfortable. This is why we do ask parents/carers to pre-book sessions. However, we do accept walk-ins on the occasion that we are not fully booked up. We cannot guarantee we will have free spaces on our sessions and therefore booking online is recommended to avoid disappointment.

I would like to attend the "daddy daycare" session however i am the child's mum, can i still attend?- Yes, mum's are welcome to come along to our "daddy daycare" sessions as much as dads are welcome at our other sessions! Here at Inside Out, we wanted to create an environment where dads get an opportunity to talk to each other and discuss the challenges that parenting may bring. 

How much does a session cost? - Our play sessions are £9.50 per child. Prices for our other sessions and special events take a look at our booking page here. 

What happens if i cannot make my session and need to cancel? - We at Inside Out understand that sometimes things come up and you may need to cancel your session. We ask that you contact us to let us know if you are not able to make your session so we can open up the space for another little one! Any session admissions that are due to be paid on arrival will no longer need to be paid upon cancellation. Any session admissions or special events that are pre-paid online or over the phone will not be refunded upon cancellation and any refunds that may be issued will be upon managers discretion only. 

Can more than one adult attend the session within the admission price, or is there an extra charge? - There is no extra charge for extra adults attending our sessions. Mum, dad, grandparents, aunties, uncles, family friends are welcome to attend with you and your child/children for no additional cost (maximum of 3 adults per child)

Is there a limit to how close to a session i can make a booking? - No, however we do ask that you give as much notice as possible so we can personalise your child's experience to the best of our ability! However, we do understand that last minute bookings are sometimes the case, especially with children :). 

When should i arrive to my session? - Arriving early: please note- if you arrive more than 10 minutes early to your session we will not be ready to start your session. We understand that timings and other factors may contribute to arriving early however, in order for us to be ready for your session, we have to tidy and sanitise all rooms and toys, and may have to arrange resources around from the previous session. 

Do you have a space to keep my child's pram? - Yes, we do have an area for prams however with our building being on the smaller side, this space is quite small. We do ask parents who drive to leave their prams in the car to leave space for the prams of parents who use public transport or walk, to get to us! More information about visiting us is here.

Is there a place to eat and drink within your facilities? - Yes, our "Snack Shack" offers cold food and drinks, and includes both a breakfast and lunch menu. All of our food and drinks are healthy and affordable as we understand the effect of the current cost of living crisis. More information about our "Snack Shack" is here. 

Can i bring my own food and drink into your facilities and eat this while i am there? - Unfortunately parents/carers are unable to eat their own food brought from home in our "Snack Shack" area. Children's water bottles however are okay to bring and if you have any baby food that you would like us to warm up then this is perfectly fine!
