What it’s like
Soft play and a separate role play village under one roof, with a combo ticket if your child wants both.
Two different things going on here. There's the soft play side for climbing and sliding, and a role play area that's more about dressing up and pretend shops and kitchens than bouncing around. If your child can't decide, there's a combo ticket that splits an hour between the two, which feels like the sensible option if you've got a five-year-old who wants to do everything.
Sessions are 90 minutes for soft play, and it's first come, first served, so no booking faff if you just fancy turning up. Role play runs in its own 90 minute slots though, and booking ahead is recommended there, which makes sense given it's a smaller, more contained space. Prices step up with age, from £5.50 for under twos up to £8.95 for the 4 to 10s, and an extra adult is £2.95 if more than one of you wants in.
Socks are compulsory on the play equipment, so bring your own or expect to buy a pair, and anyone under three needs a grown-up right beside them because of the small toys around. There's a cafe on site doing homemade food and hot drinks, so you're not stuck bringing your own snacks or hovering by a vending machine. Tickets are non-refundable and they ask for 24 hours notice if you need to switch a session, which is worth knowing before you commit to a Saturday slot.
Birthday parties are clearly a big part of what they do, with options across soft play, role play, or both, plus food included in the party packages. Anyone unwell, or who has been recently, is asked to stay away for 48 hours, which is a fair rule in a room full of climbing frames and toddlers.

What if my child is under 3?
They're welcome in soft play from any age, but under threes need direct supervision because of small toys in the space.
Do we need our own socks?
Socks have to be worn at all times on the equipment. You can buy a pair there or use shoe coverings if you forget.
Can we get a refund if plans change?
Tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer to a different session if you give 24 hours notice.
Can we bring our own snacks in?
Food, drinks or chewing gum are allowed in the play space itself, so save the snacks for the cafe area.
