Had my little boys party here today and he had such an amazing time, the staff was helpful from start to finish. Such a reasonable price for the party too compared to the other play areas within the area🤩

Well run, well organised, with a relaxed atmosphere. The prices are as low as such a business could reasonably go. The snacks, again, are a pleasant surprise. Tea & large crisps £3.50. 1.5Ltr jug of dilute Vimto, with mugs provided £2. Clean, plentiful, toilets. The largest indoor childrens soft play I have ever seen, that is not near the seaside. Advanced booking is necessary, otherwise you will be registering at the entrance. Again, with such helpful staff, this does look like a layer of security and care.

Kids really loved the place. We took 8 kids aged upto 11. The staffs are really very helpful and friendly. We went on easter monday so they arrange a craft work and baking and also find the spell for easter bunny. Only one thing disappointed the selected for the easter bunny spells,only they choose white peoples name we notieced 2 times 1st time they choose 1 name and second time they choose 2 names, all my 8 kids were right but no one selected only white peoples name. My 11 year kid went and ask the staff as well, their response is not good enough for kids I feel like that.

My daughters 6th birthday today just an amazing experience start to finish. Manager Ambreen very welcoming very reassuring and made everything seem so easy. Great halal food options great staff. A girl named Sasha who was in charge of my daughters party absolutely brilliant 👏 so friendly great with the kids and very helpful. There was a blonde haired lady at the end of the party who was doing the cleaning up, unfortunately I missed her name but she helped my wife to the car with presents again fantastic service and just great people overall. A huge thanks to giddy kippers for making daughters birthday special, keep up the great work!
