What visitors say
Bought my son here today for the first time and was so impressed! The place is so clean, not like some softplay places that you go to and you can visibly see dust and dirt! I enquired about their milkshakes for my son as he has a dairy allergy and asked if they do dairy free. The girls were so helpful and provided me with an alternative chocolate vegan milkshake for him which he was over the moon with! I ordered myself a caramel iced latte which did not disappoint! Food looked lovely as well and such a wide range of choice. Will definitely be returning and recommending :)

Stay and play is the best place for children....and adults. I went a few times with my daughter and other mums with their children, they had the best time ever and we managed to sit, eat delicious food while being able to see them. We went for the Characters Day last Tuesday and it was amazing. My daughter said already she wants to go again and we are looking forward to the Halloween and Christmas session. And to the next giant ice cream! Staff is nice and kind, and safety is always a priority. The toilets were spotless! Well done Stay and Play!

Finally, someone has actually cracked the code for how a soft play should be run! The soft play: Immaculate. So clean it almost looked like it had not opened yet, which makes a refreshing change from the usual layer of dust you could sculpt pottery from. The equipment caters for every age and ability, and the attention to detail throughout the entire place is genuinely impressive. That awkward in-between stage where your child is too big for the baby zone but too small for the main area is solved. There is a perfect medium-sized section just for them. The food: Fantastic. You can confidently say, “Let’s meet with the kids and grab lunch there,” without mentally preparing for disappointment. The menu is extensive and puts every other soft play café I have visited to shame, and I have been to more than 18 in the last three years. The staff: Friendly, helpful, and clearly proud of the place, which makes the whole experience even better. And yes, I will bother to leave a review. If you have bothered to put an RFID card or QR code on the till because you value my feedback, the least I can do is tap it. If you are looking for bad food and a thick coating of dust, absolutely avoid this place. Otherwise, you have found a winner. Criticism: 19th of November is early for Christmas music, but that’s me being miserable!
