Adult Leader to Child Ratio: Since every child must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver who remains their primary guardian while on site, our ratio is designed to offer additional care and support. We ensure that there are always at least 5 adult leaders present, maintaining a ratio of 1 adult leader for every 6 children.
Parent/Carer to Child Ratio: We kindly ask all parents and carers attending our group to adhere to the following ratios:
For children under 2 years old: 1 adult to 3 children
For children aged 2 to 3 years: 1 adult to 4 children
For children aged 4 to 8 years: 1 adult to 6 children
For children aged 9 to 12 years: 1 adult to 8 children
For children aged 13 to 18 years: 1 adult to 10 children
Capacity Information: At KingsnorthCreate’s Games Cafe, we can accommodate up to 60 participants (adults and children combined) per session. If you arrive and we are at maximum capacity, we will not be able to accommodate additional guests at that time. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. Once we reach our maximum capacity, we will post a message on our social media page and place a sign outside our building saying that we are at maximum capacity for that session. We ask parents/carers to respect this and try again the following week.
