Parent Testimonials
Find out what people say, don’t take our word for it!
“Lovely place for little ones, messy play (sand/paint/chalk/themed trays) aswell as a non messy room with role play, climbing toys and a ball pit! Someone for everyone and plenty to keep them entertained. My little girl wasn’t ready to leave after an hour which never happens! Would 100% recommend it’s a brilliant developmental play space what more could you want! ”
“I took my daughter to Playspace weekly, more or less since they opened until I returned to work in June… We absolutely loved our messy Wednesday mornings, the girls that run the sessions are the most welcoming, lovely ladies you’ll ever come across! We love Playspace so much that I chose the venue to hold my daughter’s first birthday party which was just amazing. We have so many amazing memories from Playspace and we still attend when I have the occasional day off! It’s always our go-to activity, I cannot recommend Playspace enough ❤️”
