Loved this place, visited for Halloween while we were on holiday - really relaxed, has a very community feel, the other parents were lovely and Joanna was a great host. I loved the games and dancing they held half way through the session - our 4yo and 2yo both got stuck in and loved it. A very nice touch having spare wipes and nappies in the changing room! Plus the prices for food and their cake range were very reasonable. Will be going again before we leave Newcastle

Love this place for taking my baby. There's so much selection of classes to suit all ages. The sensory snug for babies is amazing, it's warm and cosy with a great selection of sensory toys. Joanna is lovely, friendly and welcoming and has also been really flexible with my bookings when I wasn't able to attend classes. There's plenty free parking too which makes it easier. Only thing is there's not much room to take a pushchair in and they prefer you not to because of this. The role play section is great and again there's loads of toys including a soft play area and a large outdoor section too. Highly recommend!

We had our daughters 5th birthday party here on Saturday (8th October). I have to say, everyone at dream big role play were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Nothing felt too much trouble and they made sure they answered any questions I had about bringing our own decorations etc. The staff on the day were spot on, so friendly and kept me informed about what was happening and when, they made sure the day ran smoothly and did it all with a smile. I honestly can't fault the entire thing from booking the venue to finishing the day. 100% recommend! Even one of our guests had such a lovely time, while at the party they booked for their daughters birthday party there too!

I love coming here with my son. There's plenty of little buildings for the kids to explore and role play in. Staff are really friendly and the little cafe serves a great range of fresh food at a good price. 10/10 would recommend it!
