Nicole Rintoul
All the toys in the under 2s section were very worn down and majority of them did not work/needed battery’s, books were ripped apart. The soft play equipment was very faded and rips all over them and it was not very clean throughout. As a parent of a child with food allergies i was disappointed that you can only eat food bought on premises. Won’t be back

Very unclean!!!! Took my son twice here and both occasions very unwell the next day. Didn’t link it the first time visiting but on the second occasion the next day he was so unwell had to take him to hospital in the night to be told he had a viral infection. Have spoke to other people who have also told me their kids have been unwell from this place!
