Soft play
Our first time at the soft play. It was clean, fairly quiet but quite small, which for my 2 year old was perfect as he's started to go off on his own, so I could see him at every point. We went on a tuesday but can imagine on a weekend would be hard to find a table. It was nice and warm in there and the staff did pop in and check whether it was ok for everyone.
Staff seemed happy and were very welcoming/friendly.

Soft play area review
My child is 17 months old, we have been twice to this soft play, He had a great time. The only thing is it’s November and it’s freezing in the soft play area. Apart from that for £7 it’s a great little place.
