Lollipop Lane is a calm, intimate play centre designed specifically for babies and toddlers up to around three years old. The venue features thoughtfully curated wooden play equipment across small, interconnected rooms that encourage sensory exploration and imaginative play without feeling overwhelming.
Parents can sit comfortably within sight of their children, making it easy to relax with a hot drink and homemade cake whilst supervising. The space is kept small and intimate through advance bookings, which means you'll never experience the chaos of a packed soft play centre. Older children (up to 16 years) are welcome, though the focus is firmly on the younger end of the age range. The on-site café offers quality food including sandwiches, jacket potatoes and refreshments, so you can make a proper morning or afternoon of it without leaving the venue.

Top tips
- Book in advance to secure your slot and guarantee a calm, less crowded visit. The booking system keeps numbers manageable so it never feels hectic
- Arrive hungry if you plan to eat. The café serves proper food like jacket potatoes and sandwiches, not just snacks, and the homemade cake and coffee are worth staying for
- If you have multiple children of different ages, be aware this venue is optimised for babies and toddlers up to around three years. Older siblings may find the activities less engaging after an hour or so
- Use the accessible parking and facilities if you need them. The venue is wheelchair accessible with designated parking available
- Consider booking a birthday party here if you're after something small and intimate. Reviews consistently praise the staff for their organisation and care
