What a lovely place. I called in with my grandchildren not realising it was a charity run place and runs in booked slots. As it happened to be between bookings the very kind lady let us stay until the next party came. She was very informative, and helped me out for planning my next visit. I will definitely arrange to be there in the next school hols so the kids can enjoy the full play experience.

The beating heart of the Warwick Estate. Such a valuable community hub for people of all ages. Staff are dedicated, ambitious, and versatile. So much love and memories. Brilliant adventure playground, too! Knottla's lucky to have it.

We love this place!!!! This is my sons and mine safe place. The staff are amazing. I've met new friends there as has my son. We look forward to going each week. You can purchase food and drinks for very little money. And they run holiday clubs and kids eat for free. It's an absolute gem of a place.
