What it’s like
Six themed play houses plus a soft play frame, split into set two or three hour sessions so the day has a clear shape.
The six play houses are the bit that sets this apart from a standard soft play barn. Each one is built for imaginative play rather than just climbing and sliding, so you'll get longer stretches where a toddler just potters about pretending, alongside the custom built soft play frame for when they want to charge about instead.
Sessions are timed and you book into a slot rather than turning up whenever you like. Weekdays give you three hours split across morning, lunchtime and afternoon slots, weekends squeeze the same structure into two hour sessions instead, which is fair enough given how busy a Saturday soft play gets. A child is £8.50 on weekdays and £9.50 at weekends, crawling babies are cheaper at £5.50 or £6.50, and adults get in for £1, which is one of the better adult prices you'll find.
Walk-ins are accepted but they're upfront that pre-booking is the safer bet, so if you've got your heart set on a particular slot it's worth sorting in advance rather than chancing it on the door. Birthday parties get the place to themselves on Saturday lunchtimes or Sunday afternoons, with packages running from £250 without food up to £500 for the full works with decorations and party bags, which covers up to 25 children.
