  • "The toddler soft play area seemed very lacking, it was a large empty space."
  • "Not a big area for little ones just a slide and a little tikes car."
  • "The ball pool being separate was a good idea but giving it was for children under four putting it at the top of the climbing frame didn't work too well for my 15 month old who isn't a confident climber."
  • "Children running up and down the slides throwing soft play pieces from the under 4 section."

  • "The fact it’s a tenner for one kid anyway is massively overpriced when compared to other local play centres."
