Big, cheap soft play that’s brilliant for little ones, if you can tolerate the odd rude staff member.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
The downsides are fairly typical, but worth knowing. One parent was unhappy with rude staff, and another felt the under-3 area was missing balls and soft play toys. So while the overall setup sounds good, it may not be the most polished experience, and the baby/toddler zone may be a bit basic compared with the main play frame.
Two-minute orientation
Quick read
A large indoor soft play centre with a café and adult seating area. Parents say it’s especially good for tiring out younger children, with plenty to do. Best value seems to be during term time, though the under-3 area sounds a bit sparse.
