A lovely playbarn / soft play area and play garden (when weather permits) for our 2 and 5 year girls. Booked ahead online which was nice and simple. 2 hour time slot which was enough time to wear out our kids. Very clean and tidy and well maintained. Friendly and safe environment along with nicely airconed and food from the cafe with plenty of choice for adults and kids. Would recommend and definitely go back.

Really good experience! Loads for my baby to explore in a dedicated area for the 0-3years, with loads of room. The bigger area's looked like loads of fun, with loads to do! All is really clean. The food is expensive but decent. Loved it and will be back again.

My daughter had an absolutely brilliant time at Little Monsters for her 5th birthday. Jack was a fabulous party host and made her feel very special. He ran through everything with me at the start and made himself available if I needed anything. Several other parent's commented on how well it went and how great it was that they didn't need to go into the party room when the children were eating. I also really appreciated that there were some last minute changes to the guest list which caused no issues at all. Very happy birthday girl and very happy party guests.

After coming for many years and enjoying it, we booked my sons 5th Birthday party! Everything was perfect from start to finish, staff were friendly and took care of everything- we didn’t have to lift a finger. All our guests enjoyed the party which was softplay & disco party games, the added Spider-Man was brilliant and really interactive with all the children. The venue was spotlessly clean as always. Thanks to all the staff, see you again soon.

Today is the third birthday party we’ve had at Little Monsters for our children, which probably speaks for itself! The softplay is impeccably clean and the whole party setup is amazing. As parents we really didn’t have to do anything except buy a cake and number balloon and turn up on the day. Kieran is such a fantastic party host and about 6 different parents came up to us today to say how brilliant he is! We don’t know where he gets his energy and enthusiasm from and he’s so good with children of all ages. Thank you so much Kieran - we are the founding members of your fan club! The overall party organisation is excellent and the fact that the party host helps to gather the children from the softplay to have their party food and disco really helps us parents out and stops us having to climb around the softplay to catch them! The disco is fab, with games to get all children involved and the fact that you can watch on a screen outside and have a coffee is a winner! (You can of course go in the room if your child wants/ needs you in there). Thank you as always and we will see you again next time.
