What the petition asks
Allow soft play areas and centres to reopen. It is vital for babies and pre school aged children to have access to the facilities on offer. It is also important for mums and dads with regards to isolation and mental health issues.
A soft play offers not only a place for babies and children to access facilities they don’t have at home, it allows babies to socialise and learn those social and achieve critical mile stones. For mums it is a huge support network to see other mums and get out the house. The mental health impacts of closing these for mums and babies is incredible
