We have visited the little town of play many times and it is always good fun. We have always received a warm welcome. There is a lovely selection of toys and different play areas. It is great for entertaining little ones and tiring them out. We have enjoyed the seasonal change of activities on the “grassy” area. The food and drink is always nice. We will be returning again soon.

Disappointing playtime with my granddaughter. The place itself is fine, plenty to do. However it's very sterile, no atmosphere at all. I arrived late, partly from travelling and getting lost. I was happy to pay again to stay longer but was told it wasn't possible. Surely it doesn't take 3/4 hours to turn a place around. It wasn't busy, therefore not that messy. At other playgyms, staff have been very accommodating, however the lady didn't seem to care.

Visited today with my just turned 2 year old and she had so much fun running between the different rooms. It wasnt very busy and there were a range of age ranges there. 80 minutes is a long time so she got lots of play in and time for me to have a coffee. Clean toilets great coffee and so much variety in the toys available. When you book you can see how many spaces available to decide if it will be too busy or not.

our lil one and his friends had a fantastic party today for his 4th birthday 🥳🎈🎂🎉🛵🚜🚙🚗🚖🚕🚔🚓🚒🚑🍦🍨... the staff and venue really made it an easy stress-free affair for us. helping with setup and tidy up, and sorting everything out during party to make it run like clockwork. thanks for the help. 🙏🏽 ... Great venue, quiet, large, and private for private kids parties :) not hectic like soft play 😂 highly recommended and I'm sure there will be follow on bookings from other friends parents, and visitors having seen this amazing venue. it's a fresh of air and something different to soft play get the kids imagination going 😀

Amazing! Visited today for the first time with my 14 month old son who’s just started walking, I was worried that he would be a bit young, but that wasn’t the case. This place is perfect, really well laid out, just the right amount of toys in each area that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Just the right amount of people let in so it doesn’t feel too crowded. The food and drink is perfect, just what I’d expect for a play session. Staff are super friendly and the place is incredibly clean. The only thing I’d suggest is maybe some kind of monthly pass? It’s the kind of place I’d come weekly, but at £7.50 a go I wouldn’t be able to afford it, if the total cost was around £5 a week/£25 a month for visits it’s 100% somewhere I’d come a lot.
