Staff and Service

"They got great party packages, we just had my daughter's birthday party there 2 weeks ago. Friendly staff, very helpful and cheerful."
"Other than the miserable girl at reception the rest of the staff were very welcoming."
"Staff are always helpful chatty and friendly!"
"The staff are so friendly and make you feel so welcomed."
Cons:
"The girls working on the counter had stinking attitudes like they didn't want to be there."
"Main problem is bad customer service - website doesn't work, telephone calls are not answered and the staff (mostly young teenagers) have no idea how to deal with the public."
"Would be good if staff were trained how to serve who was standing in the queue and not the random people who jump the queue."
"We were then made to feel so unwelcome as staff were all cleaning up around us, as if they were closing."
"There is loads of young girls just standing around talking about what they're doing this evening, what they got up to on the weekend etc. AWFUL customer service."
"The blonde lady whom served us was extremely abrupt and rude, not friendly at all."
"Disgusting attitude by staff! served meat when i ordered a vegetarian meal because i dont eat meat and havnt for 30 odd years."
Facilities and Cleanliness
Pros:
"The place is clean and modern in some of the serving areas."
"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."
Cons:
"Toilets barely adequate for the volume of users."
"The place needs a good clean especially the under 4s section, it stunk of wee."
"Toilets are dirty, they kick off when older siblings play in tiny town and doing no harm."
"Toilets are so dirty."
"This place gone down hill, very dirty in the young kids area."
"Also did not feel covid secure, no evidence of cleaning measures etc."
"Overall the whole place is grubby. Main floor is so dirty."
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."
