"The activities for children are excellent.  The sensory things were great - and nothing breakable!"  Lynne

"Thank you for a great day.  My wife and I and our children loved it!  We will definitely return."  Timothy

"I wasn't aware that there were opportunities for activities for other members of the public - I thought it was only available to people with disabilities.  It's well-equipped, well thought out and provides a much needed place for children to develop and learn."  Val

"A great inclusive resource - keep up the good work."  Anon

Don't forget - you can also block book the Activity Centre - 3 hours for exclusive use of the facilities.  Please contact the Manager for further details.
