Me and my friend popped here last week with our 2 year old boys and they had such a great time. Lots of different activities and toys for them to play with in a lovely clean open space. Even though they were relatively busy it’s didn’t seem at all overcrowded and had a lovely atmosphere. Great coffee too! We will 100% be going back 🙂
What a beautiful place to visit, finally a place that is catered for my nearly 5 year old boy and my 1 year old girl. The space is open fresh and bright so I can always keep a close eye on them. The toys are brilliant quality and a huge variety. The staff are so friendly playing with the little ones and always on hand to help during the dreaded melt downs where the calm room is such a fantastic idea. The coffee and cakes were 10/10 too ! Can't wait to be back 🙂
I had the pleasure of visiting The Playroom last week. This vibrant, open space was perfect for both of my children (4yrs & 10months). My 4yr old enjoyed riding around on the fire engine, cleaning the laundry, playing with the fairy tree and chilling in the calm room. My 10 month old particularly liked the bubble tubes in the sensory room, as well as the wide selection of child appropriate toys in the large 'baby' area. The staff were very attentive and I loved how engaged they were with the children. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, even my 4yr old emptied his plate (compliments to the 'chef'). We'll definitely be returning, we can't wait!
What a beautiful new venue with something for everyone! My one year old loved spending an afternoon here - there is a lovely baby section, but he also enjoyed exploring the other areas too. Baby changing facilities are great and there is even a quiet room for anyone that needs a private, quiet moment 🥰 and to top it all off, the cakes are super yummy too 🥳
We visited the playroom today for the first time and had a wonderful time. I have been to a few similar concept businesses but this one is certainly the best thought out I’ve ever been to. Everything is continently in one place so parents can watch multiple children with different developmental needs at the same time. There are also plenty of comfortable places for parents dotted about in the action to sit and have a drink while observing or playing so there is not the usual struggle of trying to enjoy your drink & snack with out stepping away from your child / children. I had a delicious Brownie and was thrilled to able to get my favourite Earl grey with oat milk drink which pleasingly came in an insulated yeti style mag slider mug to prevent spillage of hot drinks near little ones. The toy variety is brilliant, and caters to all there is crafting with staff to supervise, sensory, imaginative, a climbing triangle, totter and tumble lovely matted areas for littles, dinkum dolls, Montessori open ended play possibilities are endless. My daughter is 5 and sat for a long time on her own exploring and entertaining her self while dressed as a dinosaur having the best time. The baby changing facilities are amazing spotlessly clean, spacious and provided with nappy bags and wipes. There is also a calm room for individual family use where you can sit and breast feed or calm an overstimulated child. The staff were lovely and chatty and helpful. It’s a 5* review from us and we will certainly be visiting again!
Great venue for children's parties. The staff were amazing and did all they could to help the party run smoothly allowing us to enjoy spending time with our son . Highly recommended.
