we went to the grand relaunch yesterday and were really impressed…read more The building is the old bumpis site and its still softplay but thats the only thing in common! If you are worried about the old reputation go see for yourself the change, its awesome LOL! The staff are great, really friendly and caring but firm so the kids stay in line. The playframe has been extended with an addition of a karting track and sports pitch too and really covers all ages now and comfortably as the toddler area is now seperate. Theres good baby facilities and the menu looks good and reasonable. Theres a membership scheme now if you want to sign up and save money which will be a godsend in the holidays and the party options are fantastic- we just booked one for each of my kids bdays this summer- one on go karts and one in the disco... nice touch as you still get the usual softplay and party food but with a funky twist. We'll be returning plenty for years to come! LOL Oh and the best bit is its all been redecorated and CLEANED! 09 april 2010... We continue to visit Noah and Nellies as a family and continue to be impressed! Personally as a mum of 2 the addition of the extra treats available in the form of additional money such as the teddy grabber means i have to say no and such BUT my children no longer want or ask for them, i expain that we are at soft play not amusements and they are fine with it. The go karts are amazing, i disagree they are a waste of space and am happy to pay the extra for them if i need to BUT as we go often on Tuesdays we get a free ride which certainly goes down well with both my son and daughter. He had his party there along with 15 friends, softplay and gokarts option, and it is still one of the most talked about parties at school by the kids and parents alike for all the right reasons! LOL! My daughters was the disco softplay option and again, the kids adored it feeling quite the little divas in their own personal disco! We regularly make use of other promotions offered such as the AFTER SCHOOL MEAL DEAL ENTRY which at £5.50 per child includes entry and food. My only grumble would be there is no drink included BUT you can buy cups or jugs of sugar free squash really reasonably so its not a major issue! Combine this deal with the free gokart ride and you can see why we're there on a regular basis! I consider myself a smart and fair mum who enjoys spoiling the kids but isnt taken for a mug by businesses out to make quick money and as such i am happy to recommend Noah & Nellies to anyone! The staff are young but confident and still look old to the children! LOL! The Duty manager Ashley who ive got to know is an amazingly decicated Lad who has the team working well and keeps the building in check. The owner/manager too is very approachable and I love the fact they all mingle with parents asking opinions and then listening and acting on them when able. If at any point we've been unhappy with anything and mentioned it- be it unruley children, mess or other- it has been dealt with swiftly and politely and a valid explaination has been put forward, often before ive had chance to grumble LOL... As a company, they are also helping us parents out by offering various discounts if you keep your eyes open- theyre everywhere from the primary times, lots for tots etc to the invitation book. All offer various additional benefits and at times if you look around there are further vouchers available for your next visit once youre actually in the building!!! This easter was the icing on the cake for me when they invested what was clearly a lot of time and effort (and money) into holding various Easter hunts fot the children where the playframes were filled with balloons containing winning tickets to claim really nice easter eggs... obviously not everyone won which is sure to upset SOME people but then thats the whole point of competition which as a parent i believe is healthy and for us to decide if we wish our children to participate or not :o) I say keep up the great work noah and nellies and we'll see you soon...again !!!!

Loads of different climbing walls with levels of ease and variety of climbing. Then there is indoor cave exploring and high rise walks. Cafe was a bit poor on my visit.

This is a fabulous play area for kids. It only opened in 2007 and so everything is still nice and…read morenew, and they've got a really good choice of play equipment. Parents are allowed to go into the area with their kids which is always good, especially if you've got younger ones, and there's loads there to keep you all amused. Wi-fi internet is available, so take the laptop along and get on with your own stuff while the kids play. The food is really good. When they first opened I got a peek at the kitchen and it was more like something out a 5* hotel than a cafe. Most of the food is proper cooked stuff, and there's a fair choice on the menu at reasonable prices. Most of the staff are really friendly, many have childcare experience. It's run by two couples who both have families so they've taken an proper interest in making the best of the place that they can. It's close to the school so it does get very busy at around 3pm but if you're able to go in the morning then it's lovely - I'd highly recommend taking a trip through Brigg to call in here if you're passing on the M180.

We called in here on the off chance as my other half has an obsession with fish and reptiles. I do…read morenot live far from here but only recently have they turned this farm into a proper visitor place. I was a bit unsure at first because of all the stories escalating around about farms. But as soon as we parked up, we walked over to the pig sty and I instantly fell in love with the little pigs wandering around with their parents in their little den. Then we went into the massive store area and there are unreal amounts of fish in here. If you are a massive fan of tropical fish then this is the place you should go. It is clean, presentable and well organised. They also have reptiles such as snakes and mini-dragons and if you have never had a pet like this before, there are loads of staff around to help you out. Also they have a large range of books to help you raise certain species. Originally this was a farm that sold food produce. Now it has expanded beyond recognition. They still have food stock such as meat, eggs and juices etc. Also they have a cafe inside so if you want a cup of tea or a scone, then you can here. What I really enjoyed though about this place is that if you pay a pound each you can through into the stables and feed the pets in there. They have goats, llamas, sheep and bulls. I was a bit unsure at first but as soon as I started feeding them, I just fell in love with them all instantly. They were so cute trying to jump over the fences and lick your hands. This farm is really clean and extremely well run. I enjoyed the time we spent here, it was fun and exciting. I would recommend this twice over. Go and have fun!

Went to Cockfields Farm 3rd December 2011 to top up my tank with some new additions, as we were…read morelooking at the tanks , we noticed a DEAD fish floating on the top, so I informed a member of staff who joked that it was asleep and they always went pale and lifeless and floated when they were resting !!!! I thought this comment was inappropriate and not called for... we continued our now short visit by seeing another two tanks containing DEAD fish, I find this unacceptable and will not be going back there again. as there are many better fish shops with more pleasant staff within the Oldham area.

Stumbled on Wheelgate while looking for something to do on a sunny Sunday. We enjoyed the park…read morealtough parts of it were looking a little 'well used'. £32.00 for a family ticket felt slightly high for what you got, but the staff were all very pleasant. Pushing push-chairs around was tricky as many of the paths are gravel.Food wasn't over-priced but basic, if we go back we'll take a picnic. A massive indoor area is opening soon so could be a good bet if the weathers bad. If the price says the same when this opens it will be a good family day out. One word of caution: the zip wire says 14 stone max, i'm 13 stone and won't be sitting down for about a week!

This little park started out as just a butterfly park but over the years has extended its collection and now houses birds of prey, ponies, pigs, llamas and racoons (to name but a few). The tropical house is home to the butterflies (plus some reptiles and other insects). The volume and variety of butterflies is breathtaking and the tropical house is well set out so you get plenty of opportunity to see the butterflies without feeling you have walked round in circles. Outside in the park you can explore all the other animal exhibits and catch one of the daily falconry displays. There is a new children's adventure play area and if all of this tires you out and you need to recharge your batteries then there is a lovely restaurant/cafe which serves delicious homemade cakes and lunches. The Gift shop is well stocked and the staff are all very friendly. All in all a fantastic day out.
