Lovely play cafe. Great themed stalls and a good variety of toys for babies and preschool age children. I liked the addition of the sensory room at the back. The cafe itself had a good selection of food and drink for both little ones and their parents. Friendly staff. A great find!

Great afternoon for children and opportunities too for babies. Lots to play and explore and develop their skills. Each child can find something to their liking or interest. There is also a quiet sensory room. We have been back for a free visits. The staff are friendly. Food and drinks available too for both kids and parents!

My little girl loved her visit. There is so much to explore and interact with. The space was clean, safe, and tailored to children perfectly. The staff we're fantastic too. We spent a couple of hours here and made use of the cafe for snack time and a much needed brew.
