Fantastic soft play centre with plenty to keep the kids entertained. The play area spans three storeys, giving children lots of space to explore, climb and burn off energy. There's also a dedicated under-3s area, which is ideal for younger children to play safely away from the bigger kids. Food and drinks are available on-site, making it easy to spend a few hours there without needing to leave. The facilities are well thought out, with toilets conveniently available too. A great place for families, whether you're visiting for a quick play session or a longer stay. The children had a brilliant time and we'll definitely be back.

The staff are useless they just all stand in the kitchen area talking. They dont go cleaning on a regular basis so tables were atrocious. And to be told they have run out of cups so they cant serve hot drinks is very poor service, maybe if they cleaned more often instead of standing and talking to each other they might of had cups to serve customers. the only good thing is the play area for the kids

My kids really enjoy it here. Not too over crowded. Plenty of room for them to safely run about on a late Saturday afternoon. Just wish they had a bigger menu for kids meals.

Tracey does an excellent job running bongo beats. She welcomes us warmly, makes an effort to remember names and ask after us. Her classes are phenomenal. She uses a similar structure every week, which the kids soon pick up. It's been lovely to watch them grow in confidence as a result of her leading the sessions. She chooses fun nursery rhymes and songs. There's excellent opportunity for language development. She always assumes competence and talks to the children on their level. Tracey is great at playing instruments herself and her songs are always catchy. It's great and shows real skill that she can cater for a wide age range in one class. I love bringing the little ones to the classes here. I also love that the classes are a drop in model and we don't have to sign up for a term at a time. Thanks so much Tracey & the zone!

Visited today for the first time, I found the booking sessions a good idea so that the play gym was not overly busy and they could regulate the amount of people inside. However, the baby area was absolutely filthy! I can’t comment about the other section as I didn’t go inside but see the picture of the baby wipe just wiping the mats/floor in the baby area the dirt that came off is disgusting. Inside the toilets there was no soap, not in the ladies/men’s or disabled. The hand dryers did not work.
