Look at this transformation! 😍✨ We promised you we’d be back open, and we are! First things first: total transparency from us. The ceiling in our craft room was fully replaced and is 100% structurally safe! However... the roofers are still tracking down the root cause of the external leak, which decided to start dripping again today ☔️ Because your safety and comfort come first, we’ve completely locked and barricaded the craft room doors while the building guys do their thing over the next week or so 🛑🔒 BUT WE ARE STILL DOING CRAFTS! 🎉 We spent today completely reorganizing the main floor, and honestly? Both Chris and I may PREFER it like this. We think it’s the best the centre has ever looked! 🤩 What do you think? We’ve managed to fit a full-sized arts and crafts table right into the main area alongside our treehouse, puppet theatre and play kitchen. The only things temporarily taking a breather are the tuff tray, the train table and the rocking horse. Everything else you love is ready to play! Come see the new layout for yourself—we reopen tomorrow (Thursday) at 10am! Thank you all so much for riding out these small business bumps with us. Drop a ❤️ below if you’re coming to play this week! 👇 #fyp #ThingsToDoWithKids #artsandcrafts #rainyday #manchester
