This is quite a serious undertaking. Before you even take any steps, it is worth doing a market research to find out whether the parents of the youngest children from your city are currently using such services elsewhere and whether they will use them if such a playroom is built. Social networks and Google surveys are incredibly helpful.

If you decide to take action, the following steps/tasks await you:

I subscribe to what my colleague wrote above, Environmental research, is there a demand for such a thing at all or will there be enough volunteers to pay bills, staff, premises because the prices are really huge.

If you do, we'll start

You need a place, toys and "aunts"/"uncles". More or less money for advertising. It is worth preparing a model agreement with the parents / guardians of the child.

1. To start, you need an idea of what kind of playroom for children you want to set up. You need to have imagination and know what your potential customers want. Next, you need to budget and scale the project so you know exactly how much you need to spend on equipment and materials.

2. A committed group of people will be needed to create a playroom. Designers will be needed - architects or interior decorators who perfectly understand the needs of children and parents; furniture specialists, building constructors - to create a safe playground; and marketing experts – to promote your newly established business.

3. Properly trained animators are required to work in the children's playroom. The animator should have pedagogical education, and experience in caring for small children is also welcome.

Hello

You need to collect information on the number of children, their average age, the number of similar facilities within 20 km, the size of these facilities and their attractiveness compared to your plan.

It would be important, or perhaps the most important, to invest in renewable energy because with today's electricity prices it is difficult to calculate the fixed cost.

Or maybe a cafe with a playroom for children? Take a look at LauserPause on fb, it's a coffee shop in Vienna. I go there often, always full of people and a great idea. I'm wondering myself whether to open something like this when I go to Poland. Certainly less cost than a typical playroom

Opening your own playground is not easy, but it can bring you a lot of income, as long as you follow the basic steps correctly.

The choice of location is crucial. You need to find a suitable place where you can rent a building or build your own facility. The best location is near schools, kindergartens or large housing estates. The hall must be large, so such a place should also be cheap. All the playrooms I've been to also had at least one separate room for organizing birthdays, because parents willingly took advantage of such an opportunity, and the owners had a lot of income from it.

You will also have to obtain the approval of the Sanepid, but only after the room is equipped. Among other things, toys, swings, trampolines, pools with balls, slides, playgrounds, tables and chairs for children, as well as comfortable sofas and armchairs for adults are needed. It is also necessary to equip the facility with toilets, a kitchen and places to store children's belongings.

As for employees, playroom service is required, as well as guardians who will take care of children while parents rest, unless you include information in the regulations that the parent is obliged to look after their child personally. Qualifications such as a play animator are useful, but as far as I know, they are not necessary.

Marketing is very important, otherwise you won't get customers. First, you need to promote your playroom, for example, through advertisements in local media, leaflets, advertising banners, websites, etc.

Liability insurance and property insurance would also be useful. Kids have different ideas, and you don't need trouble, just profit :)

It's great that you want to open your own business! A playroom for children is a great idea, because such a place is always very popular with parents. To get started, you need a business plan to help you see what the costs and potential gains are. You should also familiarize yourself with the legal requirements, such as obtaining all necessary documents that will allow you to legally operate your business. When it comes to staff, you need at least a few employees to help run your business. The qualifications required depend on the positions you need to fill. You will definitely need someone to handle customer service as well as someone to oversee the safety of the children. As for the space requirements, the playroom should be designed to meet the requirements for the safety of children. Remember that children are very active and need a lot of space to play. The required area depends on the number and age of the children you want to serve. Finally, in terms of profitability, you need to compare the costs of profits and business maintenance, such as the cost of building and equipping the hall, maintenance fees and hiring employees. It all depends on the market and competition in your city. Therefore, it is worth doing a thorough research before making any decisions. I keep my fingers crossed for your future playground and wish you good luck in running your own business!
