Making the announcement last night, Mr Johnson said that soft play centres, along with indoor theatres, performance venues and other leisure venues, will be permitted to reopen this weekend.

The move forms part of the Government’s ‘road map to recovery’ after Covid-19 lockdown.

Writing on Facebook, Little Monsters House of Fun in Dunmow, Essex, said, ‘Following the good news from the Government, Little Monsters will now be able to re-open.
