Been wanting to bring my grandaughter here for some time, finally got round to it today. I booked online for the 11:30am session, easy straight forward booking process. When we arrived we got there in time for our session and the place was empty apart from one other child, we literally had the place to ourselves. This was fantastic as it meant she could explore and not have to wait to play. There are lots of themed role play areas, there was; * Construction 🚧 * Vets 🐕 * Hospital 🏥 * Post office 📫 * Hairdresser 💇♀️ * Supermarket 🛒 * Cafe 🍽 * Camp 🏕 * Ice-cream van 🍦 * Mechanics 🔧 * Fire engine 🚒 * Police helicopter 🚁 So many opportunities for her imagination to run wild. We loved this place so much and will definitely be returning.

This is my favourite place to take my two young children. It's safe for them to run off on their own, small enough you can keep eyes on them but loads for them to do. My kids could spend all day there. The cafe is a bonus, nice selection of drinks and cakes and very reasonably priced.

This is a fab place for kids. I went today with my 4 and 6 year old boys and they loved it. We had been to a soft play near by before coming here and they said they preferred it here than the massive soft play at centertainment. It certainly gets their imagination flowing as they role play in adult occupations alongside other children who they do not know. It is really well thought out and the owner has paid attention to detail to make the experience as realistic as possible for the children. We have a similar thing to this near where we live in Doncaster but I wanted to try this to compare. There are pros and cons to both but this one pips the other at the post because of the attention to detail. My boys think so too. It has free parking too, albeit tight. I would have rated this 5 stars if a few things had been different. I think that first of all it should be a 2 hour session for a) the price paid and b) the kids are just seeing in with their stranger peers and playing together when it's time to go. It's like speed dating/playing for kids. I also think that the cafe prices should be less. Its the age old adage of stack them high and sell them cheap. Cans of Pepsi £2 and the coffee is Starbucks prices for a non barista style coffee. I also think some music playing low would create a better ambience or even a recording of noises you hear on a high street to make it authentic. It was a little quiet at times.. So overall, a nice place that the kids loved, but it could be better/5 stars with a little tweak here and there.

Hidden gem for kids. Good facilities. A bit small, nothing you can change there. Clean and tidy. Morning sessions can feel cold at first, it warms up if you give it time. Staff were friendly and polite. Basic food and drink available. Worth a visit.
