Our ethos
Creating a positive, supportive environment where children thrive. Spreading joy and positivity every day.
What it's like
Children's safety and wellbeing are not assured due to weaknesses in safeguarding and welfare requirements. Children initiate their own play with limited resources, frequently losing interest. Staff struggle to provide appropriate guidance for emotional regulation, leading to repeated behaviors and distress.
Fees are structured with an hourly rate for flexible bookings alongside a one-off registration fee. Standard rates include meals, snacks, and milk, though formula, nappies, and wipes are excluded. Funded children are subject to an additional daily charge to cover meals.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Leaders have failed to take effective action to reduce barriers to children's learning and wellbeing. They have only recently begun to take steps to identify and assess children's needs. Leaders do not ensure that children's individual needs are accurately identified or effectively supported.
The outdoor play space is poorly planned and resourced. Larger play materials are placed in a small, confined area, restricting children's movement, which does not promote physical development, healthy mobility, or enjoyment of outdoor learning.
My son and his friends had the best time celebrating his 9th Birthday. Great gaming party, the staff were all so lovely and helpful. I highly recommend. Thank you!!
Read on GoogleIf I could give this place zero stars I would! I took my son there the other day for this birthday, hoping to make it special for him. Instead, I was greeted with disrespectful behaviour. There was a very negative energy there and it was a terrible work environment. I got overcharged and the food wasn’t fresh at all!!!!! Not how I would want my son to remember his birthday. Do not go there, there are better places with better prices!!!
Read on GoogleHighly recommend this place. They hosted my nephew's birthday party earlier this month and we had a blast. The grown ups enjoyed themselves just as much as the children. My toddler thoroughly enjoyed the soft play area which I must say, was very clean with a great mix of toys- both educational and fun! The facilities were great, nice clean accessible toilets making nappy changing easier. Very friendly staff throughout the venue, great selection of food and drinks too. Highly recommended! Will definitely be returning!
Read on GoogleAnother lovely morning at gametime daycare and drop off centre. Sandy is marvellous with the children and adults and makes you feel like family. Would definitely recommend this daycare centre.
Read on GoogleI was very disappointed with our visit. The customer service was poor ,the two ladies in the café were extremely rude and grumpy, which really spoilt the experience. The dining area is tiny and feels congested, making it uncomfortable to sit and eat. The soft play is only really suitable for very young children (around 2–3 years), so it wasn’t engaging for older kids. The VR room and games room were very basic, with a limited game selection, and my children quickly became bored. Overall, it felt overpriced and underwhelming, and we won’t be returning.
