"My daughter is 7 and she had so much…"

My daughter is 7 and she had so much fun playing pretends doctors with her 3 month old baby brother.

"Great fun my daughter loved it and was…"

Great fun my daughter loved it and was loving the vets and food store to play with.

"Great role play for toddlers!"

Great fun for both my daughters ages 3 and 2. Would do again and recommend to others!

"disappointed as was not what I expected"

My son enjoyed this but it wasn’t what I was expecting. It was essentially a playgroup with nice toys grouped into type. I was expecting a bit more of a ‘village’. Therefore I thought it was very expensive for that, I would expect to pay a lot less or at least get a free cup of tea and a biscuit!

"Average age at the Amersham event we…"

Average age at the Amersham event we went to was about 2 so my 5 year old didn't really enjoy it.

"Great indoor toys but outdoor…"

Great indoor toys but outdoor activities need more thought.

"Great play areas and lovely owner."

Great play areas and lovely owner.

"Loved it"

Loved it! Lots for the littles ones to do, and super friendly staff!

"Great fun"

My 2 year old really enjoyed her morning at the Peppa Pig Pop Up. There was a wide variety of toys to keep her occupied.

"Not really what I was expecting"

Although my daughter seemed to enjoy her play time, I felt that it wasn’t quite as I expected, for the price. On the plus side, the husband and wife team were friendly and welcoming. The toys were lovely; great quality and condition, and placed in themes. There was a cafe, Peppa Pig toy area, construction site, vet surgery, baby doll nursery, outdoor area and an art table. This sounds a lot - however the venue was small, and there wasn’t enough room to fully make use of some of the toys, such as wheelbarrows and pushchairs. With the construction tools you might expect workbenches, but there were only foam bricks. The art table was colouring in sheets and pens.

I felt that the session was too short - it was only an hour until rhyme time, and we would have liked to play a little longer. I didn’t realise until reading the website that we could also have made some artwork to take away with us. I didn’t feel able to briefly leave my daughter to grab a drink at any point as the doors were open and venue small enough for a very fast escape!

Babies were left on the floor very close to all the other toys, and I was concerned that my energetic (and quite tall for her age) one year old would accidentally hurt them! By the time we were leaving, I would have liked to get a drink and snack to take with us, but it had already been packed away.

I think the premise is nice, but it doesn’t quite deliver in its current format. I can go to toddler groups that provide quality toys and other activities at a low price, with refreshments included. Maybe I would have felt differently at another venue?
