We recently celebrated our little girl’s first birthday here, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were so lovely, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the whole event. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that all of our guests felt welcome. The venue looked beautiful as always, the atmosphere was wonderful, and thanks to the team’s hard work, we were able to relax and enjoy such a special day with our family and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important milestone. Thank you for helping make our daughter’s first birthday so memorable!

What an amazing place!! First time visiting today and i wish we had discovered you sooner!! This is definitely the best place we have been to and i couldn’t find any faults at all. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and welcomed by a kind, polite lady. I liked how we were informed about the parking as i wouldn’t have known otherwise so i was also saved a £60 fine (I never even checked - baby brain) Everything was clean and set up well, the different areas are fantastic and having a gated baby area is great for the smaller ones to enjoy a safe space, and the range of toys.. Wow. There is literally something for everyone. My 10 month old slowly made her way around each area and enjoyed discovering all the different things to play with, it was so lovely and peaceful to just follow her around and watch her play. Some places i worry about her being pushed over by older children as she’s only small or it being too busy but not here, there was room enough for everyone and everyone who we spoke to was so nice. Toilets were very clean and good baby changing facilities too. I really can’t wait for us to come back and enjoy another visit, wish we could have stayed for longer as 2 hours flies by - that’s how much we enjoyed it! I really wished we lived closer too as it’s just over half an hour from us but we will definitely be back! Already recommended to friends and family. Thank you so much for an amazing place ❤️✨

Absolutely fantastic place for little ones. Took our baby and toddler and they never stopped. So much to do, very inventive themes and toys. Great little cafe as well for the parents. It's immaculately clean and safe. The staff were very welcoming too. It's a great business idea for little ones. We'll be going back whenever we can. Multiple slots through the day too to fit around your schedule.

Came for the first time today with my ten month old and all I can say is I wish I had come sooner. What a gorgeous play cafe. Perfect for little ones. The sensory room is just amazing and so well thought out. Two hours flew by. The cafe doesn't sell much and didn't have many allergy options so plan ahead if you have allergies (dairy and soya for me) BUT they did take on my feedback regarding this and even asked for tips on what to buy for allergies so hopefully will improve soon. Honestly a lovely place with AMAZING air con! So worth a visit no matter the weather. We will definitely be back.

Took my 7 month old for the first time today and he loved it! I was a little apprehensive after a bad experience elsewhere, but the baby sensory rooms here are excellent, really lovely throughout rooms, with appropriate toys, lots of lights and, the staff were visible, checking in in with you and making sure everyone is safe. Can't wait to come again!
