We love Kidz Kaboom! First time we’ve had food too and I must recommend the paninis. Little man ate all his beans and chicken nugs so he’s happy. Loves the dressing up stuff too!

Decided that it wasn’t necessary to wear white socks, pictures pretty much speak for themselves. The kits was shabby and kind of worn, there were crumbs and bits of food all over the place. Cleanliness got a 2/10, and the kit itself is about a 5/10. Whole place needs a refurb. Overall 3/10.

To be fair to the staff, they were lovely, and it’s not really their fault.

At Escape Family Adventure Play Area but forgot the white socks. Anyways, I’ve never had on end about cleanliness here, even on a weekend when the kids are committing carnage with crisps. So a solid 8/10 there. Food is good and the prices are middle ground. Not cheap, but not too bad. Little man likes it here too as the big equipment is roomy enough for him not to get flattened. But he does greatly miss the ball pit, and I kinda do too so kit comes down to a 7/10, giving an overall 7.5/10. Impressive really considering people repeatedly pilfer the toys from the baby area and the owner has to keep replacing them.

Me: do you need to p**p?
Toddler: no
Me: changes toddler into nice clean nappy and day clothes

Sorry for distinct lack of soft play lately. Little man has had tonsillitis and been really poorly with it. The tenth time he’s had it now, in his tiny 20 month life.

Love it when your socks don’t look any different start to finish of a soft play session! Thanks to Kidz Kaboom for a lovely clean, friendly and relaxed soft play session! My boy loves it there because there is so much more to do than just a soft play frame! He spent most of today going from toy to toy and tearing around the place with balloons and chasing the projectors lights! 10/10 one of my fave places for the littler ones!

Kirkby Leisure Centre soft play. So it’s nice and quiet, and the lot is good, but considering it’s only been open a comparatively short amount of time, it’s quite dusty, and there where food crumbs and debris in the toddler area that was a bit grim. What’s worse is that someone has doodled in the dust on top of the chute at the top, and being kids, naturally they’ve doodled a body part… we didn’t spend long here, and my socks didn’t look great for such a short time period. 6.5/10

Squiggles Playden is quite clean! This is almost an hour and my socks look worse at home! Staff are visibly cleaning while as they go, food is great value and pretty good eats! Cleanliness a solid 9/10, equipment is great fun and the toddler bit ain’t boring! Overall this is one of my favorite soft plays in Nottinghamshire!

Not been to Teenie Weenies for. Few months, but equipment wise, it’s multiple floors, good slides and a cracking ball pit! Not bad little cafe too! That side is a solid 8/10

But cleanliness wise? The socks say it all. Probably one of the grubbiest ones I’ve been in I’m afraid, though that was before I started white sock testing…. 2/10 cleanliness, bringing an overall 6/10

Forgot my white socks, but here is my trampoline pair that live in his bag after an hour of Brookfields Garden Centre soft play area. Quite dusty, picked up a few cobwebs and dust bunnies as I went. 4/10 for cleanliness.

As a soft play, it’s a bit basic, but quite accessible for smaller ones. Felt a bit shabby in places. Slide was a bit slow. 6/10

Bistro area was cluttered with uncleared pots and food debris. Food was okay though, just took a while. 6/10
