Visiting us

‘Excellent! We came with our three and a half year old and six month old- our three and a half year old loved it. It is so nice to come to where they can touch and play. The staff were excellent too-attentive, fun, informative, child focused, overall v.v. child friendly. The A-Z Quiz is also great for pre-school children. We all had a great afternoon.’
