Kids love coming here. The staff and volunteers make the experience magical for them. Song time is interactive and gets all the kids joining in. A new theme every week with lots of fun activities.

A lovely welcoming place, it’s a community hub so it’s very cheap and they even offer free places if you need one as well as free meals. The food is very reasonably priced and is all freshly cooked and tastes home made, there are plenty of options too. There are different rooms set up with various toys and activities for children of all ages and the staff and volunteers are always helpful, welcoming and friendly. If you go on your own parents and staff will always talk to you, I really enjoy the food here as it’s healthy and cheap and they do weaning plates for babies which I haven’t seen anywhere else do. They always have events on, the only thing I would say is that it can be a bit chaotic as it gets very busy with it being cheap but it’s a lovely place to take your children with a friendly and homely feel.
