“A brilliant place to take your children, lots of activities to keep them occupied. I was pleasantly surprised when i found that it suited both my 1 and 3 year old, I find it very difficult to find activities that suits both ages. The staff were lovely, they took time out to speak to all the parents which was lovely. There was also a lot of interaction between the staff and children also. Overall a very great experience!”
