“ My daughter really loves playing here and I really enjoyed the coffee and cake Excellent cafe makes a difference to have a calm playful environment rather than the usual hectic softplays Really tidy and kept nice, easy to book online I recommend booking in advance for the weekend as there are limited spaces and it does sell out quite fast ”
“ Absolutely amazing spot for under 5s in particular. The food and drink on offer is delicious and the soft play is spectacular though can get a little crowded when busy! The staff were wonderful and the special events (such as biscuit decorating at easter) are amazing. Such an amazing atmosphere for parents with young children. Do not judge the quality of the decorated biscuit in the image, my son is a menace but the staff member leading the session was very patient and kind. ”
“ Lovely cafe with a clean and bright play space for babies and small children. Good coffee, great loose leaf tea selection (served in a stump teapot). Cakes were delicious, and the salads were tasty. All at a very reasonable price. Breastfeeding friendly, nice calm environment. Lots of seating space all in view of the play areas. There is even a toilet with a second toddler toilet inside. As a bonus you don't actually need to bring a child with you to enjoy a flat white in the the cafe part. ”
“ I just wanted to give a big shout-out to Skyboat and the incredible food they serve. I’ve been coming here since it opened, both to its lovely, clean (and calming!) softplay with my boys, and its cafe. Their food is consistently fantastic, nutritious and tasty. They also do a great coffee! Thanks Skyboat for providing such a high-quality place to eat and socialise, and of course to your lovely, kind staff. You’re amazing! ”
“ This is the most amazing cafe and soft play. Well worth the money! The food is nutritious for a toddler which is usually hard to find for a soft play. There is a separate baby area so they are not run over by toddlers. There is a soft play which kept my 3 year old busy for 2 hours. The staff could not do more to help :). I would recommend the cake and the bake of the day (sausage roll). ”
“ Had a brilliant time here. Booked into the soft play, not really knowing what to expect. It’s bigger than I thought! There are two ‘sections’ to the soft play (plus the back room when there aren’t any classes running) and it was perfect for my 2 year old. Our 6 month old was happy too, with the bubbles and selection of wooden toys. It feels very spacious and lovely! We had a drink & cake which were super tasty. Will definitely be coming back. ”
“ We love it here - the food is wonderful, you can sit amongst the soft play watching your children and enjoying delicious high quality hot drinks or a whole host of amazing breakfast & lunch options! The soft play is so aesthetically pleasing, clean, quiet/chilled, very well thought out and it is really loved/enjoyed by the children with just the right amount of space/things for ages 0-4! Spaces are limited and need to be booked which really helps with all of the above! It is perfect for babies and toddlers but also a lovely experience for adults too - hence why I think they’ve really nailed it as that is a really hard balance to strike and there are very few places that do! ”
“ Lovely little cafe, great food and amazing place for kids. Lady doing the cupcake session was absolutely wonderful with our little one, think her name was Natasha? ”
