The session was well run, welcoming and a great way to get out with little ones. It felt relaxed and suitable for babies, which we appreciated. You also get free time in the soft play afterwards, which is a nice bonus. However, it wasn’t very well governed and there were bits and bats everywhere, so it didn’t feel as tidy or organised as it could be. We decided to try the food while we were there and unfortunately that let the experience down. The cheesy chips were honestly the worst I’ve ever had very disappointing. The kids’ meal was also quite subpar; the fish finger was almost rubbery and pretty inedible for a baby. Overall, the baby group itself was great, but the food and soft play cleanliness bring it down to an average 3 stars. · via Google [Samantha Abigail Knaggs](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115235431923355180887/reviews) ★★★★★ Took our toddler to the later session and ended up having to parent other people's kids. Loads of 'parents' just let their children loose while they sat at their table on their phones. Certain SEN children need supervision. 1 child was grabbing babies by their necks. My husband was dived on feet first by a 5yo in the baby area who then proceeded to pick up a baby and fall over another. Our son was grabbed round the neck. The staff was lovely and the place was clean, we choose to eat elsewhere in a restaurant but the food looked nice and reasonable. 1 staff member did instruct older children to get out the baby area just as we were leaving. Unfortunately our visit was cut short due to these abandoned children. Most of the older children stayed in the bigger section. On quieter session it may have been more enjoyable for the younger children · via Google [Paul WilkinsonTv](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101533139581836770157/reviews) ★★★★★ I really enjoyed the 4D Golf, i thought the golf holes were pretty easy but it is for kids so it’s going to be🤣 the service was friendly and at £8 per person for 15 holes(split over 2 courses) i thought it was fair priced. · via Google [Libbsro](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111106129288507881302/reviews) ★★★★★ It wasn't awful but also wasn't great. For babies and toddlers the area was pretty pitiful, a range of plastic toys for babies that were just being thrown around by older children and a small climb area leading to a slide for toddlers.The bigger area is only really suitable for children that are able to go off alone as some of it rather small for a little more than average adult. There are better soft play areas I'd rather take my child to such as grasshoppers. Otherwise seemed reasonably clean and well maintained. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487969f502e8ce1d:0xadcf4d6738357f04!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this soft play area offers a decent size with various activities for kids, including unique scan-to-time watches, and provides good quality food. They also highlight the friendly, professional staff and the clean, well-maintained facilities. Some reviews mention the food can be disappointing.
