​
What Happens at Play Hive Parties?
Our fun and friendly party specialists will develop a custom party with games and activities just for your child! Based on the age and number of children they will plan out a super fun experience. For our younger parties, or those with large age gaps between the children, we will set up fun adventures like obstacle courses, a parachute house with puppets, songs and dances, and swing time. If you have had classes at Busy Bees and your child has a favorite game or activity, we will make sure it is incorporated in the party! The first 60 minutes of the party is for play and activities and the last 30 minutes is reserved for enjoying any food and treats. 5 minutes before the end of your party, the party specialists will start to pack up all your items and any presents brought to make it easy and simple for you to enjoy those last few minutes of the party. When your guests have left, we will help bring things to the car as needed.
How many children can I invite?
15 children are included with our 90 minute package and each additional child is an additional fee. We can host up to 25 children.
What time should I arrive at the party?
We ask that the host arrives no more than 5-10 minutes prior to their scheduled party, as we will be cleaning & preparing the gym for the birthday party - as well as allowing the party prior to yours to exit. You are welcome to drop any décor, paper goods, etc. off ahead of time for us to set up prior to your arrival. **If you require more time for a "Pinterest-style" set up, please inquire about adding additional time to the party for set-up at an add-on cost. Please note, for back-to-back parties with no additional setup time added, extravagant setups will be pushed into guest arrival - get with us to determine the best plan for your party.
​
Is each child required to have a signed waiver?
For insurance purposes, ALL children must have a waiver completed and signed by a parent or guardian. Busy Bees provides you an email with the waivers and they must ALL be signed and completed or that child cannot enter the party.
The party host is required to stay at the party. Parents of children under age 4 years old are required to accompany their children on the gym floor.
Are socks required?
For safety purposes, we ask for children and parents to wear socks. Including this in the invitations helps everyone be prepared on party day. Extra socks are available to purchase for $3 should adults forget them. The host parent is also welcome to bring extra socks in for guests.
Can I use my own decorations and/or paper products in the gym?
You are welcome to use your own decorations or paper products; we do not allow ceiling decorations, streamers, silly string, confetti (choke-hazard), or glitter of any kind. Please keep in mind there is limited setup time between parties when planning decorations. Decorations we suggest include: a Happy Birthday wall sign, tabletop decorations, and some balloons. There are so many fun things to do in the gym we promise you do not need a fancy set up to make your party amazing!
​
Do you provide setup and clean-up?
Absolutely! We will do ALL the set up of the gym and clean-up afterward.
​
Are gratuities (tips) appropriate?
Gratuities for our staff are not required but are always welcome and appreciated for a job well done. We promise they will be working hard to make sure it’s an amazing time for your child and guests
​
When will you contact me for details about my party?
We will email you the week prior to the party to go over details, as well as a few other questions. If you have any questions as your date gets closer feel free to email them to classes@busybeeskidstherapy.com at any time! We want everything to be ready for your child’s party!
​
Can I bring food to my party?
You may bring your own food. We've had families bring pizza, sandwiches, cake, cupcakes, cookies, prepackaged dry snacks (chips, pretzels or popcorn), etc. The last 30 minutes of the party will be for enjoying any food you bring. No food is allowed on the gym floor at any time. For the consideration of those with food allergies we also ask that no peanut/nut products are brought onto the premises as we are a nut free facility.
​
Can I bring in my own drinks?
You are welcome to provide non-alcoholic drinks for your guests. You may also provide juice boxes/small waters for the children. Individually packaged beverages are required, no open cups please. For your safety and enjoyment, food and beverages are not permitted on the gym floor. No alcoholic beverages of any kind are allowed.
​
Are there any additional items I need to bring to the party?
If you will be bringing a cake or cupcakes, please bring candles. For your convenience, we have lighters on hand and socks for parents ($3) available. We don't supply them but you are welcome to bring in helium balloons as well.
