On Monday 9 October, Haydon Wick Parish Council ran its second toddler and parent trip to Jungle Kingdom Soft Play Centre in Swindon. The event was paid for by the Parish Council and organised as one of many to reduce loneliness and isolation within the Parish.
A spokesperson said: "The trip started with the excitement of jumping on the Council’s community bus to drive to the soft play centre. Upon arrival, the children could not get their shoes off fast enough to get stuck into exploring and playing. It was lovely to witness the children make friends with each other, as well as parents and grandparents talk to one another about their parenthood experiences and share future fun locations to go with their children.
"Managing to round up the hyper bunch ready for their lunch proved to be rather tricky. However, when everyone’s meals arrived, it was just the fuel they needed to carry on having fun after. The food was delicious, and everyone ate well.
"Towards the end of the session Max the lion came to say a special hello to everybody. He gave high fives, cuddles and calmly waved to those who were a little more bewildered by him. After loads of running, jumping, sliding, and climbing there were some very worn-out children and parents looking forward to nap time."
Councillor Vinay Manro, Chairman of the Council said: “Its great to see so many people who may not be able access these facilities easily have the opportunity to come along, have a free nutritious meal and to let their children play”.
The Council is looking forward to planning future youth events and trips, so keep up to date by visiting the website and social media pages.
