I come here every so often with my family, and I love it. The place is large and full of activities to do constantly. While your kids play, you can order food and drinks to relax with. There's even areas for younger children. I think that this is a lovely place to go to with your children. 5 ⭐stars

We visited Ed & Molly’s Playbarn through Blue Diamond Garden & Home 🌸 The kids had an amazing time! 👧🏻🧒🏻 It’s a spacious, beautiful, and very clean indoor play area, and most importantly, the prices are reasonable 👍🏻 The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the parking was excellent and convenient 🚗 There’s also a lovely café inside serving hot and cold drinks, along with many delicious food options 😍☕🍰 My rating: 10/10 One of the best places for children 💖

We had heard great things about Ed & Molly’s Playbarn and were really looking forward to visiting. We booked online and attended on a Saturday morning with our 15-month-old daughter. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, we were disappointed. There were a large number of older children running and jumping in the non-walker section, which immediately raised concerns. When we went into the toddler area, we found the activities quite limited and our daughter quickly became bored. We also felt we had to stay on very high alert due to older children running, jumping, and pushing in spaces meant for toddlers. We understand that parents are responsible for supervising their children, but it appeared that some of the older children were unsupervised. A little more staff reinforcement of the age-appropriate areas would have made a big difference. We’ve seen this managed well at other soft play centres, so it was disappointing not to see it here. Sadly, we won’t be returning to the soft play. On a positive note, the garden centre itself is fabulous and well worth a visit.

Nice cafe. Large play area for a large age range of children. Coffee and tea was of a good standard. Staff were friendly. I think it was also reasonably priced. With the garden centre being attached, this gives you chance to rotate with plenty to look at.
