One place Alessia loves to go is soft play and i will honestly hold my hands up and say we rarely take her. The reason why? i have no clue. We use to always take Kadiann when she was younger, so i've vowed to take her at least once a month.
We had to nip to Asda so decided to go to the closest one which is Funsters. I've not actually been to this one before and from the outside i wasn't expecting much but it's pretty big and has more than one slide..yay!. Alessia is always a little nervous at first if shes on her own, with a friend you wouldn't see her for the duration of the stay, but on her own it's like taking baby steps for the first 10 minutes.
We had a lovely lunch and pricing isn't that bad. Scott opted for a full English breakfast and me and Alessia had a kids meal which was only £2.49 for a sandwich,chips and crisps, bargain! Although trying to get Alessia to eat whilst shes eager to play by this point is impossible . Pepsi's and cold slush puppies all round to wash lunch down with afterwards.
We was hoping to take Nila into the baby section but it was packed with older children, does anyone else get this in their soft plays? no matter what the signs say there will always be older children in the baby and toddler section running riot.I turn into the incredible hulk usually and want to chuck all the big kids out but i had restraint this time and opted for a walk around with little munchkin :) She loved being out and all the different people and sounds, you could tell she was really taking it all in.
,which was so adorable.
The afternoon ended with Alessia going on one of the machines, 'play until you win' ,does anyone else have a child that is obsessed with these? she loves them and the tattoo machines.She hit jackpot as she managed to pick two sweets up with the grabber. For any of you that are wondering, no she didn't share them :)

Ah sounds like a lovely fun day out :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a fun day out. My daughter is turning seven but still loves soft-play :)
ReplyDeleteYou have 2 gorgeous children and looks like it was a fun day for you all x
ReplyDeleteGrace always loved soft play and the machines too. Glad you all had fun x
ReplyDeleteI have only ever been to one soft play area and it was in South Africa with my little cousins. I was the hulk that kicked the older kids out of toddler section lol
ReplyDeleteGrrr that's a pet hate of mine when the baby section is full of older kids!! It used to drive me crazy, I'd be glaring at the parents and pointing at the sign!!
ReplyDeleteI took the kids to a similar soft play centre last weekend. They loved it. Love the look of this soft play centre.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cheap kids meal and I love the look of the soft play area. It is perfect for kids x
ReplyDeleteWe love a bit of soft play (when it isn't term time lol) as Sophie always has such a good time! x
ReplyDeleteMine love soft play although I prefer it when it is quiet. I love that the grabber machine is play until you win - mine get frustrated when they get nothing and want to keep putting money in
ReplyDeletePlay until you win on the grabber is good! I get so frustrated and never usually win anything!
ReplyDeleteMy niece loves soft play! Every time we drive past one, she always begs us to go in haha! She always manages to drag me in there with her climbing onto the frames which are a tad small for me now! But I don't half burn some calories!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! We love soft play, its always something the kids enjoy and I can relax with a coffee and cake whilst they run crazy!
ReplyDeleteI took my eldest to soft play all the time but it becomes so much more tricky when you have more than 1 child. I now find it impossible to chase after all 3!
ReplyDeleteMy eldest loves soft play. He has been so many times in the last few weeks because he was invited to a lot of birthday parties.
