The team at Amazon in Dunfermline recently hosted a movie morning for employees’ children on site to support parents with childcare during the summer break.
The children were invited to visit their parents’ workplace at Amazon in Dunfermline to meet other children and watch a movie together.
The day started with breakfast and games, then the children were taken on a site tour of the fulfilment centre to see exactly what mum and dad do at work. After the tour, the children settled down to watch The Super Mario Bros Movie.
Speaking on the event, Jamie Strain, General Manager at Amazon in Dunfermline, said: “We all know it can be hard to entertain children during the summer holidays, so we wanted to ease the burden for our team members in any way we could.
“By hosting a movie morning, we wanted parents at Amazon in Dunfermline to feel at ease knowing their children were having fun whilst off school.”
Craig Urquhart, an employee from Amazon in Dunfermline who brought her son and daughter to the movie morning, said: “My two kids, Ben and Bella, had such a fantastic time watching The Super Mario Bros Movie with my colleagues’ children.
“It was a lovely experience to show Ben and Bella where I work and give them both the chance to make new friends. The summer break can be very long when the kids aren’t active and busy so I’m grateful that Amazon helped us parents bring joy to our children over the summer.”
Ben, Craig Urquhart’s son, added: “I had the best time at my dad’s work.
“I played loads of games with my new friends and then we got to watch a movie which was really fun too! I definitely want to come back again soon.”
