Cons:

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "It was actually clean unlike most places."
  • "The entrance has locked gates for both entry and exit ensuring children can't get out without their parents."
  • "The play area is immaculately maintained, and the equipment is not only visually engaging but also built to the highest standards of safety."
  • "Toilets were spotless would recommend this place to any parent wanting to let their little ones run off some steam."
  • "Nice to see staff regularly cleaning areas (not just tables but play areas)."
  • "Been a long time since I have been here. First impressions were amazing. So clean and tidy for a soft play."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "You get what you pay for and in comparison to the vast amount of Soft Play centers in the area this has way more to offer."
  • "The food was fantastic. Very reasonable price and generous portion sizes."
  • "It's great value for money and the food is great quality and there is quite a lot of choice for both kids and adults."
  • "Food was lovely and reasonable and the staff were very friendly."
  • "Value for money - Great for baby sensory and under 4's with the mini town and quieter play area."
  • "Went along with the family, son, partner and grandchildren had canny 2-3 hrs. something to eat and watched 2/3 rds of the grand bains run themselves ragged and hopefully they will sleep well tonight, got say money well spent."
  • "Absolutely brilliant went for my grandaughters birthday party everything thought of for you, staff were brilliant just pay the money and relax well worth it."

Cons:

  • "Kids enjoy it but the fact adults have to pay and the overall price is significantly more than most play areas."
  • "The entry and the food prices are unacceptable for what they offer."
  • "Only thing that stops me from going here a lot is the price."
  • "Prices absolutely shocking."
  • "Also not worth the money to get in on a busy day as it is quite expensive for a child more so when you have multiple."
  • "Food they serve looking worst than dog doodo and at very high prices."
  • "I find it disgusting that parents have to pay for entry when we spend all that money at the cafe anyway."

Safety and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "It is safe and secure."
  • "Situated in an industrial retail park makes Round the Twist a very safe place to take your children because it is away from busy roads should your child wander from you."
  • "The children are very safe and the different areas for different age groups make it great for the kids holidays when the older children can get a little too boisterous for the toddlers."
  • "The facilities are top notch."

Cons:

  • "Parking can be hectic."
  • "Parking is limited and I left when it had got very busy at 1pm and there were no spaces available and people had parked on the double yellows."
  • "Parking is a bit of a nightmare though."
  • "Far too many children in the under 4 who are over that age."
  • "It is an accident waiting to happen and I believe should an accident occur, a parent may have rights to sue the company for failing to police their own policy - breach of care."
  • "The problem is there are many parents who fail to watch and take responsibility in addressing their older children (over 4 years) playing in the under 4 years section."
  • "I've been robbed in the car park, someone opened my car and stole everything inside, including the Christmas presents."
