Good value, friendly and fun — but the dust problem is hard to ignore.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Clubhouse sounds like a solid local soft play for younger children rather than a big day-out destination. Reviews mention slides, a ball pit and a disco room, with enough going on to keep babies through to around five or six occupied. Parents seem to like the friendly staff, reasonable pricing and the fact it never feels overcrowded. There’s coffee, cake and snack options, plus seating where you can actually watch the children without feeling wedged into a corner. The snag is cleanliness, and several reviews say the dust is a real issue. A few also mention frayed fabric and bits not being tidied properly between sessions, so if you’re fussy about hygiene, that may outweigh the decent value and cheerful atmosphere.
