Having organised 15 birthday parties before, I can honestly say the party I had for my 5yr old today at Ants was by far one of the best! The girls working there were incredible, really friendly from arrival and so helpful throughout! They provide everything , just bring the cake and party gifts…they make it the least stressful party ever 🤩 Even cut and wrap the cake for you! 😅 My son really had the best time, and as parents it was reassuring to know that the venue was spotless. Everything was perfect, thank you so much! Will highly recommend to everyone 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just had a wonderful experience at 'Ants' for my son's 4th birthday party. All the staff were incredibly helpful and really take the stress out of party planning. The booking is a private event and all the party food is catered for as well as balloons. There was a great selection of savoury hot and cold food as well as yummy sweet treats. The children all had the best time in the soft play and riding the various cars and carousel ride. Because the venue is not too large it means that children are never too far out of sight which makes it a much more relaxing experience than some of the much larger soft plays. I would highly recommend this venue for a child's party or other celebratory event. 5 stars to Antz Inya Pants and thank you for allowing my son to have the best birthday ever!!!!!

Had a brilliant experience here for my son's 6th Birthday party. We primarily book here for the simplicity and value that an all inclusive option provides, and the kids seem to love it. Big enough for them to have lots of fun but not so big that parents are worried about their children. The lovely staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them. They treated the party as if it was for a family member of their own and are an absolute credit to the centre! Thank you so much 😁

Had my daughters first birthday here, we arrived really early with some decorations and it was no problem being let in early to set up. The ladies couldn’t do enough for us, nothing seemed too much trouble. They were polite, friendly and approachable. The venue was clean and appealing, it had been set up ready for our arrival which was lovely. We thought it was really good value for money, especially considering we had exclusive hire of the venue included in the price, which was great! The food was good too! Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook again! Thanks ladies x

Space is great for toddlers i this case 15 toddlers running around but because we had the place to ourselves it was perfect. Really recommended. Thanks for the happy memories.
