As parents of
three children under the age of four, Brendan McGettrick and Rhona
Creegan know well the challenging job that parents of young families
have on their hands; balancing that precious time with the children
with some well deserved 'me-time'. Having had their fill of wet
park benches, disappointing play venues and junk food, they decided
there must be a better way.
"We just
couldn't find anywhere that was focussed on the play needs of younger
children, that provided healthy food, but also a grown-up space
that catered for our needs too," says Rhona.
At the start
of 2006, Brendan and Rhona set about developing their own solution,
selecting Naas Town Centre as their first location for a new type
of business in Ireland. Joey's is an urban play centre focussing
on families with children from 0 to 6 years where the needs of the
parents are taken every bit as seriously as those of the young ones.
Free internet, magazines, newspapers and a comfortable café
area serving healthy snacks and great coffee are just a few of the
things in store for Mum and Dad at Joey's.
"Our business
is really about three things" says Brendan, "a safe
stimulating environment for play; a comfortable place for parents
to relax; and a range of services for the family".
To this end
Joey's customers will experience the latest in play facilities,
sumptuous café seating and a whole range of classes and activities
for both parents and children.
Joey's, opening
on 9th December, is located on the first floor of Naas Town Centre,
with lift access from the underground carpark, as well as direct
access from the rooftop carpark. Joey's is now taking bookings for
birthday parties.Santa Claus himself will be visiting
Joey's on 14th and 22nd December, so make sure you don't miss that!
