We visited on 23/04/26 and on arrival we was greeted by Maria she was super polite very engaging with my daughter (4) and son 6 months. She was very sweet and was lovely to be in her presents. Staff in the cafe was also polite couldn’t do more as they did. Food was tasty children menu pizza was delicious my daughter ate it all. Fresh hot chips and nachos was also good. Prices are quite decent. What I love about coming in school hours is that it’s unlimited time and it’s a lot quieter. My daughter loves the slide and all the different activities that are available. There was an arts and craft work shop which broke up the stay there which she loved and was able to take her creations home. Toilets are fairly clean.

Our Absolute Favorite Soft Play in Manchester! ​We have been to Head Over Heels too many times to count, and without fail, my children are bursting with happiness every single time we go to play there! ​It is hands down the best, cleanest, and safest soft play area we’ve ever experienced, making it incredibly easy to relax and enjoy a wonderful, stress-free time together as a family. The staff are absolutely exceptional always friendly, helpful, and vigilant about safety. ​As an added bonus for parents, they serve really nice, high-quality hot drinks so you can comfortably sit back while the kids have the time of their lives. If you want a guaranteed fun, safe, and thoroughly enjoyable day out with the kids, this is the place to be!

Great place clean and friendly good food prices are decent and parking isn’t bad the staff are very accommodating and there’s a sensory part for babies and football area for the ballers. The staff dress up as princesses too which is a nice touch for the nervous kids. 8/10

Been wanting to go here for ages, but granddaughter is only just 1. So we took her on Saturday. I was absolutely blown over. So very impressed. There was SO much for her to see and do, I wish I hadn’t left it so long. She loved the sensory bits. There are so many different sections that you don’t feel like you’re bumping into people or waiting around to “go” on things. There were two cafes, we went to the one upstairs. It was very clean, plenty on the menu and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning!
