We booked a 2h party this morning for 16 four year olds. Very friendly welcome; spotless soft play with a good number of levels and slides, plus a bit for three year olds too. Then upstairs for party food - all freshly made, sandwiches, fruit, crisps, and ice cream, which was a nice touch. We were left to cut up the cake ourselves, which suited us just fine. The party room was a decent size - too often they're poky and not well lit, but this was good, and there was a big fan for when it got hot. Then they all played musical bumps and got a balloon. Really friendly staff; good coffee too; I didn't try the cake they had for sale but it looked really nice. Would definitely go back.

So, midway through the summer holidays with an active 9yr old son, and we were looking for something different to do for an afternoon. Having thrown a few ideas about, each being met with the cry of 'boring' I happened upon the clip and climb website. Straight away this grabbed his attention. The website is easy to navigate and booking the tkts and add ons was simple. On arriving, parking was 'on street' pay and display. On entering the building we were immediately met with a happy and warm welcome from the staff, who clearly explained the layout and process, showing us to a waiting are for the safety brief. The climbing area is very vlean, with lots of jand sanitizer stations. The obstacles are all brightly coloured, engaging. And of different changing levels. Although its not a huge space, it is very well layed out, with staff patrolling the rarea and offering friendly encouragement, especially to some of the younger or more nervous climbers. After the briefing and being fitted with the harness, we took to the climbs.... although apprehensive to start, my son quickly began to enjoy himself, and as soon as he trusted the automatic belay system on each wall, he was flying! The 55 min climbing time, doesn't seem like much, but he was exhausted by the end. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon. The staff were at times patient beyond belief, and offered encouragement and advice to my lad, meaning that he was able to relax, have loads of fun, burn off loads of energy AND try the two challenges! Both of which he had flatly refused to try.... I can't recommend this establishment highly enough! Wellbworth a visit, and certainly shall be returning! THANK YOU to all the staff !

We had an excellent time here with friends.The centre is revamped, offering spacious, clean and modern facilities.We had two 7-year olds and a 3-year old and they all managed to have a great time as there is a large ball pool, a big construction with slides etc, and a separate toddler area, all offering enough challenge and space for every taste. Most of the equipment is situated within a large space from where it is fairly easy for parents to monitor the children. Although it was Saturday afternoon, the first day of half term, there was enough space for everyone so that it didn't feel overcrowded. Moreover, the ventillation was great, keeping us cool and happy. Furthermore, staff were very nice. We were served by Lewis H. who helped us in many ways: he offered us another ice cream when my son accidentally damaged one; most importantly, he helped us during a car breakdown - we left our light on when we parked so the battery died; on the way out we couldn't start the car. Lewis H. and his parents, and Jason, took personal interest in helping us: Lewis' mom made a detour to get battery cables from their house to sort it out on her way to pick up Lewis. We called for road assistance but Lewis and his mother managed to solve the problem before the road assistance arrived, so we didn't have to wait as long!While we waited with our 3-year-old toddler, Lewis H. and Jason offered us drinks and a chance to sit inside the soft play although it was already closed. Lewis came to check up on us and give us updates frequently and he and Jason helped push the car to somewhere safe. We were really touched by their personal interest and thoughtfulness which helped lighten up our mood during that difficult situation. We will definitely return to the Partyman for more fun, knowing that even if we have a problem, we can have fun and can count on someone to help us! Thank you!

Went here on the spur of the moment after our plans had to change. With two small grandsons we've visited quite a few soft plays in various locations in different counties. This place was very clean. Not too busy. I'm sure you'll know what I mean when I say I've been to places where children are running around unsupervised, pushing and shoving anyone in their way. It wasn't like that here. Good atmosphere the boys loved the mini disco area. The staff were really good and very polite. Great food too. It's worth a visit
