What it’s like
Pay-and-play soft play with two slides for the under-2s and no time limit on how long you stay.
This is a drop-in soft play rather than a timed session place, which matters more than it sounds. Under-2s get their own two slides, a ball pit and rockers, while the over-2s head for crawl tubes, an aerial glider, a dizzy spinner and cargo nets. With ages 0 to 12 covered, a toddler and an older sibling can both find something that isn't just a corner of foam blocks.
There's no clock running on your visit, so a soggy Sunday can genuinely swallow the whole afternoon without anyone chasing you out. The catch is timing your arrival: turn up in the last hour before closing and you still pay full price, since the site is upfront that there's no discount for a short visit. Prices step up with age, from £2.50 for under-1s to £6.50 for the fives and over, and adults get in for £1, which is fair enough for somewhere you'll be sitting with a coffee for a while.
The café does hot and cold food, with the kitchen firing up from 10am and drinks and snacks available from 9. Term-time Tuesday mornings are a dedicated Toddler Group with juice and a banana thrown in, and Wednesday mornings are an SEN session with the music off and a quiet room set aside, both no booking needed. Birthday parties run as a standard package at £13.50 a child, covering an hour and a half of play plus food in a party room, or you can take over the whole venue with the £190 VIP option.
