Prime minister Boris Johnson has made parents' dreams come true this evening - as he allowed soft play centres across the county to open from next Monday.
As part of the easing of coronavirus restrictions, Mr Johnson has confirmed soft play and similar venues - like Yaya's house in Hintlesham - will be allowed to welcome families again from May 17.
The announcement is a relief to Karen Hyland, owner of Tumbledown Down soft play at Stonham Barns, near Stowmarket.
Mrs Hyland said: "I offer private hire for families. Lots of families are still scared to mix with others and so my method means they can play safely and feel confident.
"I will also be bringing back my toddler sessions, as many mums and toddlers have felt isolated and have lost out on learning social skills.

"My toddler groups will also be kept very small at around 10 children. This gives me the space to allow both parents to play if needed.
"Many have never seen their children in a soft play or social setting, and due to capacity this won't be offered in many settings."
Following feedback from her customers, Mrs Hyland will be running Tumbledown in the way she did before the last lockdown - allowing two households or a group of six to make a private booking.
The sensory room at Tumbledown will also be opening under the same booking conditions and small toddler groups will be starting up again.
You can book private sessions at Tumbledown soft play, or the sensory room, by sending a message via its Facebook page.
Last summer, Mrs Hyland criticised the government guidelines, which she said unfairly impacted Suffolk's smaller soft play businesses.
If you are looking for an alternative to a soft play centre - you may want to take a look at Bury Soft Play who set up in community centres and at people's homes.
Orron Bush, who runs the family run mobile soft play company, says his customers often say that his setup is "cleaner than a supermarket".
