I have booked for the two toddlers and registered my infant as a non-player because I know that she is not going to play but the receptionist was so rude and insisted that I have to pay for her not believing what am I saying that she is not going to play!"

Cons:

  • "Small kids section contains a laser device which can cause permanent eye damage to humans (kids and adults) which shouldn't be in kids place."
  • "Strongly do not recommend for anyone whose child has additional needs. They make carers pay to attend when this isn’t even a policy in many other similar establishments."

Value and Pricing

Pros:

  • "Not cheap but I'd rather pay a few extra quid for great food and a nice clean, safe play centre."

  • "Midweek unlimited play session is very cost effective."
  • "Excellent value for money."
  • "Worth every penny for a stress free and enjoyable party."

Cons:

  • "Everything is money-grabbing, do better for the community."
  • "Play Gym is very expensive compared to other similar play gyms I have been to."
  • "It’s just very expensive, it costs about £13 to go with a 1 year old and that’s without any food."
  • "Only downside is the cost element which is pricier than most other soft plays and there is no reward or loyalty schemes to offer discounts to regular users."
  • "Was told there was no refund policy on kids not turning up and I'm sorry but at £24 a kid I find this an absolute joke!!"
  • "Not only do I think it’s way overpriced, £58.80 for my three children plus meals and entry for myself."
  • "Last time to come here as the staff are so rude and not respectful at all!"
