Extremely difficult to get a parking space and the spaces are painted for small narrow cars, not for the lorries and big wide cars that park there. The venue does not offer showers or changing rooms which is unpleasant when you have used the sports hall for active exercise.
I visit twice weekly with my son for his Kumon tuition after school. As someone who nearly lost both legs to sepsis last year, the facilities are somewhat wanting. We frequently have to park away from the car park as the disabled bays are always taken, and then gingerly walk down the steep hill at the entrance of the car park. I cannot get out of the car without a struggle in the normal bays. The walk down is not much fun with legs that buckle unannounced, even with crutches - and especially during winter months where it’s likely to be very slippy. Secondly, there is frequently nowhere to sit. And today, I went to sit in the corner of the lounge while my son was attending his class and was told to leave by 5 or 6 people sitting in one corner of the large lounge. So I had to stand in the corridor, hanging off my crutch while waiting for my son to finish. Not great for a proudly plasters “A centre for everyone” across its walls. Not great. Edit: after 20 minutes a nice lady offered me her seat.
Really great venue. We hired it for a party and was great value for a soft play hire for little ones. Coffee bar in soft play was nice and good value too. Staff were all fantastic, totally recommend for a party for under 5s
We recently had a wonderful celebration for our daughter's birthday at a fantastic venue. The room provided was clean and ready on time, despite having been used by the previous party. Additionally, the bouncy castle area was immaculate, and the children had a fantastic time playing there.
A great place to have a kids birthday or christening. The place really transforms once you have tablecloths and chair covers on. Can easily accommodate 70-80 people. You can also have grown up parties here. The staff is excellent. Phil the caretaker goes out of his way to helpful. I'm a party planner and would highly recommend this place as a venue - Party Genie.
