Hickory Dickory's Playhouse

Fantastic soft play centre! Great choice of things to do. Very friendly and welcoming staff. After having worked in a play centre, I have to say this is one of the cleanest ones I have come across. Will definitely be bringing my sone back!

Well… what can you say? It was absolutely bedlam in there. I know it’s a school holidays but most parents don’t have any control over their children. Older kids were in the toddler section causing such a nuisance throwing & messing about!! . most family don’t keep an eye on what time they have to leave and I’m sure people stay well over their time. As There was no tables or chairs available and plus the car park was full!! So Beware!! had to park along the road with other cars and came out with a parking ticket!! . So When you one person is looking after young children how can you leave them unattended to go and see if you can move your car, into the car park!! it’s ridiculous. Especially when you have pre booked tickets!! No, I would not recommend it or to go back.

Plenty for toddlers and older kids to do. Food is decent and much like how you'd expect from a softplay place with reasonable pricing. They have electric go karts that you can tap by card to play. I would like to add that since it's been under new ownership it's a lot cleaner, staff are really good and I regularly see them cleaning during sessions too. It's definitely nice having this right on my doorstep.

I recently went to take my nephew to Hickory Dickory’s Playhouse. The drive was nice & about 15-20minutes from where I live. Looks like you’re entering an industrial area but as you turn in you can see the play centre. Ample parking for cars & bigger parties of guests. I was actually surprised at the size of the place it was huge, so much space. The playhouse was lovely. Extremely quiet during the day which was absolutely fantastic as my nephew is 17months. Which means he is 1 years & 7 months. He played in the under 2s section which had clear signs for age appropriate play. Had the basic sensory play which you can’t go wrong with. It was nice & calm. They have clear signs displaying that children need to be supervised by adults that are accompanying them. Which is great information as sometimes it’s needed. Overall I think playhouses/ centres are great but it always depends on demand. If it is extremely busy it can be a sensory overload where having play time & then going to rest or have a snack or leave can be very difficult. They have high chairs for little ones, which is helpful & they have snack options at the canteen area. Personally I wasn’t a fan of the sandwiches, jam specifically. But everything else was fine. I did not end up using the baby changing area so therefore I cannot comment as of yet. We went at a quieter time so we had the play centre pretty much to ourselves. Decently priced for entry. Receptionist seemed nice & upon exit the staff we met was kind. I’ve seen some mixed reviews on staff, but from our first time experience it was normal. I will be going again, very soon & will have an update on my experience going with a larger group. We went on a Sunday, just after lunch time. Around 1:30pm started until 3:15pm.
