Charlie Park

“Lovely play with my 10 month old, lots of space and toys appropriate for babies. Great food and service. It was cold as it’s an old warehouse, especially for crawlers on the sensory room floor. Some of the toys and balls in the ball pit were dirty. Nice areas such as library and shop etc, although the “shop” is full of empty recycling containers and boxes, would be nice to see how older children use this space. There was loose wires dangling near light tube in sensory room and plug sockets exposed, could be blocked off to stop toddlers grabbing them, maybe a small toy unit would be helpful. That being said there is a sign for the sensory room that reads children require adult supervision at all times, which isn’t great for the children who have already entered without an adult! I will return due to my baby enjoying her time and it’s an ideal place to meet up with other mums. Could do with TLC & a deep clean!”

“It is a great place for young children to burn off energy in a safe and well-maintained environment. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and the café area is comfortable with a good selection of food, drinks and snacks. My son really enjoys his visits here and always has lots of fun.”

“Pros: Well laid out and a great mix of things to do, with a big softplay, imagination play and a 0-2 section. Food is decent and the entry prices are very reasonable for the area and you can book online (£1 more for walk ins) The new flooring in the main area is a big improvement. My 4yo had a lovely time. Cons: it’s upstairs and the stairs are a bit dusty. Not on Charlie park but just be warned if coming solo with 2+ kids! The 0-2 area is sadly really tired and in desperate need of a deep clean and refresh. Tigger needs a go in the washing machine asap and most of the ballpit balls are past their best. The floor tiles weren’t secured so lots of gaps onto wooden floor for little feet to get stuck. The softplay toys were all cracked and flaky and many really discoloured - not great if you have a little one at the shove everything in mouth stage. Overall good for the older ones and lots of potential for the baby area, with a refresh and deep clean.”
