Coronavirus COVID-19 Policy Applicable to Booked Parties and School Holiday Programs

PRIVATE & CORPORATE PARTIES POLICY:

Bop till you Drop is a registered COVID Safe business. All of our staff have completed the
COVID-19 Infection Control Training from The Australian Government and have completed a
‘COVID-19 Safety Plan’ provided by Service NSW. We want to assure you we are doing
everything possible to minimise the risks concerned with COVID-19.

Hygiene practices:
Bop till you Drop maintain the highest hygiene and cleaning practices on our equipment and at our events. We are ensuring our staff are well informed and updated as Service NSW provide new information.

All staff members have undergone the Service NSW Covid-19 Safety Plan and have received the Covid-19 certificate. Please rest assured that they have been educated in high hygiene standards, including practicing proper hand sanitising procedures and cough etiquette.

All our parties and events will be equipped with hand sanitiser, and if any child presents unwell or with flu-like symptoms, they will be requested to move away from other children and a parent will be informed.

Cleaning:
We uphold the highest standards when it comes to cleaning and have stringent processes in place. All the equipment is wiped down with antibacterial wipes before entering your home or venue. The entertainer will also make sure they have thoroughly cleaned their hands with antibacterial hand sanitiser. During the party they will use antibacterial wipes to wipe over the microphones after each use from the children to minimise the spread of germs. The entertainer will adjust the microphones to the correct height which will limit the need for the children to touch the equipment. They will also regularly remind the children not to touch the microphones where possible.

Program Alterations:
We are implementing the all NSW Government guidelines, and altering our structure of events based on the restriction changes. This can include minimising all activities that involve direct contact between children, such as linking arms, clapping with another child or huddling in a group. Instead we have replaced these games with other fun activities such as musical statues, limbo, etc.

Suggestions you can put in place:
Remind parents that if their child is not feeling well to please refrain from attending the event. Ask the children to all wash their hands as they enter your home/venue. Repeat this just before and after food, and cake time. Try where possible to provide individual food packs and drink bottles (with names labels) instead of cups with jugs. If you must have bowls of food, use tongs to place the food onto the children’s plate. Do not allow the children to pick their own food.

Fees:
If cancelled OR rescheduled within 14 days of the event date, normally full payment will apply but in the case of COVID-19, we will credit your balance to another date with no expiry. Please note you can even book this event in 2021 or onwards. Should a party be cancelled as a result of COVID-19 related illness within our Bop team, a full refund will apply.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMS POLICY:

Bop till you Drop is a registered COVID Safe business. All of our staff have completed the
COVID-19 Infection Control Training from The Australian Government and have completed a
‘COVID-19 Safety Plan’ provided by Service NSW. We want to assure you we are doing
everything possible to minimise the risks concerned with COVID-19.

Hygiene practices:
We’re following the recommended health and safety precautions and are continuing to provide
the latest updates to our staff to ensure they’re well informed.

We’re ensuring all our staff maintain high hygiene standards, including practicing proper hand
sanitising procedures and cough etiquette. All our School Holiday Programs will be equipped with hand sanitiser, and if any child presents as unwell or with flu-like symptoms at one of our programs, they will be requested to move away from the other children while we contact their parents. All visitors will be required to undergo a temperature check prior to entering the venue. Should anyone present a higher than normal temperature, we will request that they isolate and/or be denied entry.

Cleaning: 
We uphold the highest standards when it comes to cleaning and have stringent processes in place. Before the entertainers enter the venue, they will thoroughly clean their hands with antibacterial hand sanitiser. During the School Holiday Programs they will use disinfectant wipes to wipe over all the high touch points such as door handles, desks etc. Any equipment we bring to the venue will be wiped down prior to entering with antibacterial wipes.

Program Alterations:
After much deliberation we have decided to remove the karaoke class to minimise the children touching and putting their mouths close to the microphones. Instead we have replaced this lesson with a creative craft lesson where the children will be making their own microphones. We will continue teaching voice and performance techniques and the children can get extra creative and belt out their songs into their own hand made microphone.

We have also added in other fun classes, such as Magic. These lessons are fun and creative so be sure to ask the children what magic tricks they learnt. We will also be removing the cooking lesson, once again to minimise any health risks associated. We have replaced this with fun science experiments which the children can do individually. In our craft lesson instead of the children sharing pencils they will each receive their own individual packet.

The concert on the second day will now be a closed event without an audience. We are following the Government restriction’s placed on indoor events and will adhere to implementing the per/square metre rule. Therefore, we can no longer open this even up to parents without breaching this policy. Instead, the children will perform the concert and our staff will film it and upload it to a private link which will be emailed for parents to watch.

Supervision and Education:
Our qualified team have also been trained to educate the children in our care of best practice when using equipment, best general hygiene practices and to recognise and assess risk and take the appropriate action. Throughout the day, children will have access to hand sanitiser. Our entertainers will advise the children not to share food and drinks. They will also be reminded to wash their hands before and after meals. If any child is seen to be coughing or sneezing into their hands, we will ask them to wash their hands immediately with soap and water.

Fees:
If you would like to cancel your booking for any reason at all including illness a credit note will be applied to your booking. This credit note can be used at any time or transferred to any other school holiday program. Please note there is no expiry on credit notes.

The host arrived on time and was very engaging. The Kids did not move from their seats for the entire duration. Definitely recommend getting them to lift up your b’day parties.
