Speaking on the company’s investment at The Glass Yard, business owner Alysha Rushton commented: “From the moment we viewed the space, we fell in love with it and knew it would be a perfect space to create our dream business.

“We particularly liked how central it was in Chesterfield, meaning it was easy for people to access. The two hours free parking that The Glass Yard offers for our customers is a great bonus. We love working with the businesses around us and we have already started to work with The Batch House for our Parties and Meet Your Miracle for our Mummy to be Events!”

“The Chesterfield community have already been nothing but supportive of our new business since we opened and every week we are so excited to welcome new and returning customers through our doors for more fun!

“Sugar Snap Play is not only a play space, but each area has been thought through thoroughly to provide excellent learning and communication opportunities to help children get a head start towards preschool and their progression later in life.”
