Go Kids Go was allowed to reopen on Tuesday after a fresh inspection
A children's soft play centre has reopened after it was forced to close due to the discovery of mouse droppings in its kitchen and play areas.
Go Kids Go, in Raw Dykes Road, Leicester, was shut down by the city council due to an "imminent risk of injury" after an inspection last week.
Environmental health officers said they were satisfied steps had been taken to stop mice moving around the building.
In a statement, the business said the centre was now "safe to operate".
Mouse droppings were found on the floor of the kitchen
The Go Kids Go statement read: "We had another visit today by [an] environmental health officer, we have been given an all clear to reopen for business.
"We want to ensure [sic] parents that we are safe to operate.
"We always had pest control involved to take care of the pest problem, we are now looking to expand into this area."
A city council spokesman said: "The officers felt there was an imminent risk of injury to health and took appropriate action to close the venue immediately.
"The venue's operators have worked with the Food Safety Team to ensure that the issues are addressed and the health risk is removed.
"Officers visited the business on Tuesday and were satisfied that it had been made safe."
Leptospirosis, a bacterial infection, can be spread by urine from mice and other rodents.
