We are regular visitors to Planet Kaos with our four kids, and we think it's the best place of its type in the area. The staff are friendly and hard working, and the manager is a very nice bloke who is extremely accommodating. Our kids, aged from 22 months to 9 years love the play equipment, and we really couldn't fault the place. They also serve very decent coffee!

My 1 year old daughter loves it here, staff are lovely and helpful, always smiling. My only gripe would be the babies toys never work because there out of batteries, I understand they must have to be changed often, but haven't seen one working yet. Apart from my minor annoyance, the place is great for kids.

1 of my children went to this pre school from 8 months old all the way until she left to go into reception.... I cannot praise the staff enough... my other little girl who was older also attended in the school holidays. The staff were fabulous...even when I had a few money problems they were understanding and amazing. I also took my children to play here on a regular basis... they loved it everytime... the coffee is great as good as starbucks and the food also equally amazing. I thank all the staff for trying their best to keep the place clean and fun and thankyou for being such a big part in my childrens lives xx
