Active Tots is the perfect place to take toddlers and babies. We are regulars as we know we can always guarantee a super clean and safe space for our little one with a variety of play options for her - soft play, toys / books, garden fun or role play! I have recently had a second baby and the staff have been lovely and helpful as I navigate juggling the two children! We have also enjoyed some of the special events they've put on - my daughter experienced her first 'teddy bears picnic' here and the play experience set up for a Halloween event was brilliant. Active Tots also offers a great cafe with a much better variety of offerings for toddlers than most places (we love the themed lunches and special breakfasts). In the next few months our toddler will outgrow this lovely little place but I look forward to many more visits with my second!

We LOVE Active Tots!! ❤️ I used to take the children I looked after often, and now I get to enjoy taking my own little ones. Always a fab time. The ladies are all so lovely and friendly, the play equipment is always so clean and there is something new every time we go. I could never spend 3 hours at any other soft play we go to, yet here we’re never ready to leave!! The food is great and their iced coffee is the best 😋 always planning our next visit!! x

The best place for little ones. My eldest loved Active Tots and we went from when she was 9/10 months until just before she was 4. She wishes she wasn’t too big to go. Her younger sister absolutely loves it. I’m so lucky I can still go with my youngest. Great food, great staff, great facility for ages 0-4. Perfect.

Absolutely brilliant venue for babies and toddlers. both our children have loved coming here over the years. can recommend 'daddies breakfast time' on saturdays, and all other times of week. indoor facilities are always spotless garden with toys/large playhouse for kitchen+shop food is always great value.

We have been coming to Activetots for a year now and it just gets better and better. Today we did the Elf event and were amazed by the incredible food and the attention to details the ladies there put in. It’s such a great place for babies and toddlers to play and the food is always excellent. The ladies are welcoming and friendly and my little boy loves it there. So does his daddy and grandparents. 100% recommend and love the specials that get put on depending on the time of year. Thank you.
