Facilities

Pros:

  • "Had a great experience of arranging and celebrating my daughters birthday at Kidabulous."
  • "Huge indoor play area and generally goes full in summer."
  • "The play area overall was extremely spacious, clean and provided ample opportunities and activities for the 5 year olds to vent their energies and have a fun evening."
  • "Great soft-play for all ages however the largest floor space is best suited for ages 5+, could possibly do with more floor area dedicated for smaller toddlers however on the whole the fitout is good."
  • "The soft play was great fun and even I had a little run around with my son and got to say great bit of fun and exercise."
  • "The facilities are nothing short of excellent."
  • "Great place for kids to play. It is usually clean unless very busy then the tables don't get clean in time and the floor gets very messy."

Cons:

  • "Been coming for years but the equipment is tired the prices have gone up."
  • "The place itself is brilliant, it's big and there are almost endless things for kids to play with."
  • "The venue was filthy. Dirty plates were left on several tables for over an hour."
  • "Hygiene definitely an issue, soft play areas are dusty, sticky (generally just grubby)...even the baby area upstairs."
  • "The overall hygiene is poor upstairs."
  • "Children seem to get lost because of the size of the place."
  • "Really wanted to enjoy this with my 16month old and we went to the “toddler section” but it was full of hyper, manic, careless 8-10year olds running and crashing about on everything."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "I found staff friendly, and they were cleaning tables, sweeping the floor and cleaned the toilets while i was there."
  • "Best of all the staff we had were amazing, the manager Tracey and Bradley were so amazing."
  • "Staff are always friendly, courteous and attentive."
  • "Always clean and staff are very friendly, lots for kids to do."
  • "All staff where lovely and friendly."
  • "The staff were incredible, so friendly, calming and full of smiles."
  • "Staff are always helpful and friendly."

Cons:

  • "The employees do not even know the items on the menu."
  • "Staff don't monitor the play frame which is normally normal practice in soft play."
  • "Staff need improvement on customer service and manager needs to actually help and teach staff how to fix a problem rather than doing it for them and walking off."
  • "The staff members are incapable to handle parties with larger groups of people (10+ also is too big for them) and they are very unprofessional while dealing with customers and guests."
  • "The entire time the young man and another staff member talked over me and the manager, they were answering for the manager and interrupting me."
  • "I went to a party here and found the staff to be very moody and aggressive."
  • "Staff are extremely rude and dont manage/supervise the areas."

Food and Pricing

Pros:

  • "The food is pretty good as well."
  • "As what's available is comparatively quite expensive, but good food."
  • "They serve hot food too and tea and coffee."
  • "The food that is served is excellent although watch out for the ice cream."
  • "Food and drinks pricey as always but better quality than most."
  • "The food and drinks available are also very good quality."
  • "Great value for money - the kids will love it; especially the huge slides!"

Cons:

  • "We paid over £18 for food which was awful, and should have cost half that, and we had to wait 40 minutes for it."
  • "The reason for 4 stars is the food wasn't that great, but that could have been because they where really busy."
  • "Menu and drinks hugely overpriced - I'd suggest filling up before or taking the kids for a better value treat afterwards."
  • "It's really expensive in 'peak' times I.e weekends and they charge you for adults and children."
  • "Expensive. Adults have to pay £3.25 each just to watch their kids play."
  • "Entry was pretty expensive, nearly £60 for 4 kids and 4 adults."
  • "The only thing I would say that it felt pricey around £20 for two children (1 and 8) and an adult."

Cleanliness and Safety

Pros:

  • "It's safe and secure, clean with friendly staff."
  • "Kidabulous is very clean and well organised."
  • "The place was well kept and tidy and my daughter had a blast, but man was it hot."
  • "It's always clean and doesn't smell as so many soft plays do."
  • "Both areas are nice, clean and welcoming."
  • "After visiting few soft plays I was not sure if I want to see another dirty place with my 3 young children. I was in shock how clean is this soft play."
  • "Thanks for keeping it COVID safe ... it’s great to be back!"

Cons:

  • "Complete lack of any compliance with Covid requirements. Two people in the whole centre are wearing masks."
  • "Standards have gone down... the place is dirty."
  • "Its so dirty... definitely not worth it... Not safe at all."
  • "The only place I could find was in the disabled toilet. As we entered my 3yr old commented on how dirty it was!!!"
  • "The toilets were absolutely stinky, worse than at the busiest train station."
  • "Toilets - wish I had taken photos as I am sure there must be laws against the state they were in - especially considering they are meant to be used by children."
  • "Its so dirty... place is so dirty.. doesnt look like anyone cleans it... and its just breeding ground for germs."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

  • "There is a tiny car park that holds 8 cars but there is street parking which is free."
  • "Acess for prams and wheelchairs, no steps to get in. Sufficient car parking at the front of the building."
  • "There is parking and I had no issues parking (I was there early around 9.30qm)."
  • "The prices are great, I mean for me my wife and child to go there off peak it cost £11 which for a good few hours of fun is great."
  • "There is car parking around the building and they also have their own car park."
  • "Parking is pretty much non-existent."
  • "toddler area nice and cool"

Cons:

  • "Parking is an issue."
  • "Looks great but so many people and parking was a nightmare."
  • "Parking very tricky and it's a bit pricey - charging adults on top not great especially as seating area isn't comfortable or kept that clean."
  • "Defo call ahead as parking can be a nightmare too."
  • "Their site is off the busy main road and constantly full of HGVs and vans. Not suitable for kids to be walking near an industrial estate."
  • "They have got two play areas big one downstairs for 5+ kids and smaller one upstairs. If you have kids in different age groups you find it difficult looking after both at the same time."
  • "The other issue is the higher part of the main play area gets extremely hot like a sauna!"
