I cannot fault Peekaboos playhouse, it’s amazingly clean, the food is incredible. And I love the fact the children can play & adults can sit & catch up with friends. It’s easy to find & the fact they spend 30minutes between each session wiping down and cleaning for the next session to start is brilliant! We love peekaboos! It’s not overly local to me but I travel too bring my little girl to play. She loves the calm environment peekaboos brings.

We recently celebrated our daughter’s 4th birthday at Peekaboo’s. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly—nothing was ever too much trouble, which made the event stress-free. The environment is so engaging and thoughtfully set up, catering to children of different ages. Many of the parents commented on how lovely the party was and how much their children enjoyed themselves. Peekaboo’s also accommodated all dietary requirements, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, they made the day feel truly special for the birthday girl!

Have visited twice with our 4 year old granddaughter. (Although we know she comes quite often for "parties" ..which she loves) The venue is beautifully clean and all the toys are of good quality. Not too sure there is quite enough variety to entertain a busy 4 Yr old for 90 minutes. Also having to pay an additional £2 for an extra adult doesn't seem quite right. Our extra adult was grandad who enjoyed, and paid for, the refreshments on offer! Having made just a couple of criticisms, our little one enjoyed herself, the staff were delightful and we would definitely recommend this as a lovely place to share with your preschooler.
