The business model for this soft play didn't work for my family, I also think it's on the expensive side. You have to book in advance (no walk-ins) during one of only 4 available time slots (see screen shot) and sessions run for 90 minutes. Given this short window I was surprised at the cost: almost £27 for one adult and two children (ages 6 and 4). We went over the Easter break and it was only about 25% full, which doesn't surprise me given the business model. They have a strict no outside food or drink policy which means you have to pay more if the kids get hungry/thirsty, and they end up using the short 90 minute window on eating. I will say the space was clean and the staff were friendly. For those that are happy with the cost and time slot model this is a good spot as it's quiet and clean.

Visited today for the first time with friends, and my 5-year-old loved it. Great big climbing frame, lots of seats and tables for adults. The food arrived super quick, and the coffee was good. They do a range of hot and cold food. Kids lunch box with 5 items and a drink for £5.50. The place looked very clean along with the toilets. Lots of free parking. Staff are very pleasant and busy clearing tables. We had a brilliant time here! Can't believe we haven't been here before. Highly recommend it.

Look, firstly the kid had fun playing with other kids. It's a very safe environment. The food in the cafe is pretty standard as to what you'd expect in a cafe. Some staff were friendly some weren't but they all seemed effective at what they were there to do. Ok, now that's out of the way I'll say how I feel. We arrived at the car park early. DON'T do that. And certainly DON'T RING THE DOORBELL! Luckily I didn't make that mistake. They lock the whole place down in between the 90 minute sessions I assume to desanitise the whole place in case covid or some other fairly benign pathogens are hanging around. Afterall, kids spit, pick their noses, and are generally meat sacks full of nasties right? It would have been nice to be welcomed when you're early. It's also a missed opportunity for the cafe. Perhaps those that come early could browse some Treasure Chest merch. Instead the welcome wasn't there. Now my son doesn't care about such things and maybe I'm getting old (I am). It was an extremely regimented, full on process and rule based experience from the moment you park to the moment you leave. Just look at the photos of *some* of the regulations that are plastered everywhere - even the toilets. Some might like that. I found it over sanitised and wooden. I can only assume the owner has been mentally scarred by the pandemic. It would seem that Covid is alive and well still - and trying desperately to break into Treasure Chest. I even at one point wondered if I needed a face mask again - for the staff's safety! Still, having said all that, the only place I want to be sanitary, the toilet, was clean to the eye 👁️🚽👍 I won't be back with the family, it's not for us dirty grimy people really. To many though, it's popular and they return. Maybe I'm being unfair. Perhaps I'm just tired and it's affecting my judgement somewhat. I just hated the numerous rules and regs plastered everywhere. It felt more like a strict gym as a result. It felt just a bit odd. This is simply a review of my own experience though. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time, and this isn't supposed to be a bad review either - I thought 3 stars was accurate. My son would give it 5. When he's old enough to have a Google account I'll ask him to start reviewing the places he wants me to take him to!

Kids really enjoyed themselves. My 4 Yr old just ran riot, had a blast! My 2 Yr old loved playing on the lower levels..... there was so much for them to explore and enjoy. This was their first time at a soft play centre I'm sad to say but needless to say we're converted! There was a fantastic choice of food for the kids too.... and as we left a sticker each for the kids. Treasure Chest was recommended by a friend and I can't thank them enough!
