I absolutely love busy bees & am so glad I was introduced to it by a friend 18 months ago ! My daughter loves it there & plays independently with the variety of toys. The set up is perfect & no matter where a parent sits, they will always be able to have sight of their child! It was even better going there when I was pregnant, as it meant I could actual enjoy my food & coffee without having to constantly get up & go check on my daughter. It’s been a great place for me to meet up with friends too & let our kids play together & not spend huge amounts of money having to go out for the day elsewhere. The summer is starting & the outside summer set up for good weather days is great ! The staff are amazing & go above & beyond ! I find with a lot of other soft plays that the staff are quick to stay out of the way & hide in the kitchen, whereas at busy bees you do chat to the staff & build a relationship with them ! Food, drink & snack selection is great & extremely reasonably priced.

Seems like a simple soft play, but there is so much for the young children to do. Play, food and more play! Such a great selection of food available. Our youngest (2) who is usually overwhelmed by soft play was independently playing and didn't want to leave. Thanks so much to Diane and the team! Even the parents had a stress free afternoon.

Such a fun friendly place to visit. I love the rotation of toys too! I’ve been going since my little girl was a baby and she’s now nearly 3. Worth a visit
