I go to LOADS of baby/toddler groups and softplays, as well as doing photography in a lot of baby sensory and toddler sensory locations so I really do appreciate when a place goes above and beyond for kids and families. When I saw this location open just round the corner from where I live I was absolutely buzzing! I’ve already been a handful of times since they opened and it really is amazing. Even when they are fully booked it still doesn’t feel overwhelming and crowded like a lot of places do. The food is delicious and fresh and the women working there are so friendly and welcoming. You can sit and talk to them as well as other mums as the atmosphere is just lovely. I have recommended it to so many of my friends and can’t wait to return (probably next week!) my little boy gets so excited to go to the ‘toy cafe’. Overall, just amazing!

As a first experience this was amazing!! I found it to be relaxing, organised, so so clean and all around just an ideal place to take your young ones. My toddler loved it here, there was so much to do and as it was an open session she was free to roam. The facilities were bob on, food and prices to enter we all reasonable. Over all just a lovely experience and we can't wait to attend again!

Lovely little play cafe with a great range of toys. Staff were friendly and it was clear a great deal care has gone into creating the space. I visited with my toddler and newborn in the first week of opening and my little one absolutely loved it. Highly recommended and well worth a visit!

Me and my daughter arrived next door to drop my dog off for the groomers. I didn’t even know Playspace existed until then! And what a pleasant surprise. Last minute walk in whilst my dog was being pampered & my 1 year old had a lovely time playing a Playspace. Lovely staff, clean facilities and perfect coffee. Highly recommend.

I visited today with my daughter who is almost two. She absolutely loved it! A gorgeous space, lots of wonderful toys and activities, super clean and just a lovely, calm atmosphere. Coffee was 10/10 and there were lots of food options for my daughter( she has a dairy allergy). We will definitely be back.

Came here recently with my son, my friend and her daughter. It was a really lovely experience, small space but lots of to play with!! The group size felt nice as not over crowded, with my little boy having ASD he seemed comfortable and not over stimulated! Reasonable pricing for the time allowed, all toys clean and well organised. & to top it off the food was delicious!! Will definitely be coming again.

What a lovely little place. I visited here with 2 friends and our 3 babies this week. It felt like we were at a friend's house with the way the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The facilities are second to none and we will definitely be back.
