What it’s like
Outdoor woodland play for babies and toddlers, with mud kitchens, hammocks and nature crafts to get stuck into.
This one's all outdoors, in a woodland setting with mud kitchens, swings and hammocks rather than a hall full of plastic toys. Toddlers get stuck into nature crafts and construction play with whatever outdoor materials are to hand, and there are pop up sessions specifically for newborns and crawlers to explore safely, so it's not just built for the ones already on their feet.
The mud kitchen is probably the bit your toddler talks about afterwards. It's messy in the way toddlers actually want things to be messy, which is either the whole appeal or the reason you pack a spare set of clothes, depending on your outlook.
Being outdoors means this isn't really a wet-weather backup. If you're after somewhere to hide from the rain for an hour, this isn't it, but on a dry day the woodland setting is doing a lot of the work that a soft play frame would do indoors.
Birthday parties run on weekends in the same outdoor setting, with personalised themes and a t-shirt and virtual invites for the birthday child, plus tea and coffee for the adults standing about watching.
