There are lots of swings and rides, it's in the fresh air, so they can run around and tire themselves out, less chance of picking up bugs and germs than at, say, an indoor play area, it's easily accessible by car (although you sometimes have to be a little creative about parking) and moreover it's free ! There's the river nearby for feeding ducks and plenty of open space for kicking a ball around or flying a kite. Get the little ones to cycle there and they will be even more tired after a visit - result !

While…read moreyour children discover the hidden treasures of the play zones, you can enjoy the comfortable surroundings of the lower level 'Espresso Café' where you can enjoy a freshly ground coffee and read a magazine.The play area is big but not huge which i personally prefer as you are able to keep an eye on the kids without having to follow them. They also seem to limit the number of children that go in quite heavily as i have never found the play area packed out, so there is no packs of children knocking everyone over!! The food in the cafe is varied and reasonably priced, their cakes are devine, as well as their 'school style' cheesy chips, yuummmmm!

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 !!!!

This is a big soft play centre in an Industrial estate warehouse. The equipment for older kids…read morelooks great, plenty of bridges and ropes and what-have-you, it's hard to tell from the outside! For the littlies, there isn't a huge amount, but there is a very deep ball pool and a few giant wobble-men to play with. Theoretically this is in a dedicated 'toddler area', but in practice it's hard to keep the bigger kids away, especially when they are all hyped up! This means you are better off taking little kids here while school is on if you can. Meanwhile, there are plenty of sofas and tables for mums and a little coffee shop, claiming to sell the best coffee in Leamington. I'm not sure that's true, but it's good enough. My son will love this place in a few years, for now it is somewhere handy to keep in mind on rainy days.

Whoever thought up the idea of this venue was a genius I know it is a family run business and…read morethat's about it. What they have done is taken an area of Tamworth where there was nothing/very little for kids to do and created a little goldmine (not jealous at all that I did not think of it first!!). The unit is in the middle of an Industrial estate and although that sounds odd - its literally walking distance from one of the biggest housing estates in Tamworth. They have transformed the inside spectacularly to accomodate the following; Large softplay/ ball pool for older children with amazing slides and tunnels. Smaller softplay area especially designed for toddlers. Enclosed netted area with goal posts and basketball hoops. large expanse of tables/seating for food. Comfy relaxed seating area with sofas. Specially painted themed party rooms (x3) Various drinks/popcorn/toy machines and a couple of rides for toddlers. Upstairs seating area/vewing gallery. Go kart area. The parties start from £6.50 and there are loads of different packages available depending on whether its a boy/girl. They have a wide range of hot and cold food available( not badly priced - quality just average- service poor). They even do hair cuts!! The environment is bright, stimulating, clean and above all safe. The security there is very good - they have doors that only staff can open to exit the main area. As I have just mentioned the food not outstanding, but other than that a fab place for younger kids to let off steam and run around. I would say its suitable up to about age 9. One other drawback - no licensed bar!!. I was tempted to take off a star for this - but then conceded its designed for kids.

Rainbow World is one of a British institution -- inside play parks, because let's face it, it's too…read morecold for kids to play outside, even in the summer, in the Land of Never Stops Precipitating. The fine folks at Rainbow World bought out a large warehouse on a large industrial estate, and turned it into a play park full of slides, swings, ball pits and fun things to climb around on. There is also a mini go-karting area for £1 extra, with a size limit and minimum, but it's great fun! The prices are a bit high on weekends, but if you stay for a good few hours, it's worth the cash. The lighting is harsh, the decor is twee and it reminds you that once, you had weekends to go to quaint, tasteful cafes, and now spend time freezing on football pitches and drinking lukewarm Nescafe in equally freezing indoor play parks, because a little person calls the shots. Rainbow World can be rented out for children's parties in part or in full. As play parks go, it's not very large (Crash Bang Wallop is much better), but it does get the job done. A nice feature is the small basketball cum football court off to one side, and also a smaller "play grotto" for toddlers and tiny tots. There is food here, but imagine your worst frozen-pub-food nightmare, and that's what you should expect. I'd go for a Slushee, personally. The staff are some of the rudest, least hygienically presented I've ever seen. I've never been smiled at when at Rainbow World. The neat feature of not being able to leave or enter without someone opening the door for you means that staff can see you waiting at the door, roll their eyes and stomp over to open you out without a word. It's all very couth, really. Be warned: there are only about 15 parking spaces, and traffic wardens regularly go around looking for money to be made for the council. All in all, if you're desperate to give your tot something to do in the winter months, Rainbow World is alright, but it's really best avoided.

We love this place so much, we had our wedding reception here and it was a mega success - no frills, no fuss, just simple good food for a dozen of us. Absolutely the best of British!

There are is a good variety of small independent shops including Arty Parties where, for a small charge, kids (and adults!) can paint pottery. The children's farm has goats, chickens, cows, horses, deer, peacocks, geese and a pig and there is also a building which houses baby chicks, rabbits, quail and guinea pigs. Some of these animals are often for sale. There is also a nice cafe. Lovely cup of tea! I had a nice meal with my partner. There was a little problem with our order but I'd like to think that was just a one off as otherwise, the service and food was good. We even got a complimentary drink because of the confusion. The food, however, is a little expensive but you do get a lot for the money. I would certainly recommend this as a family day out. Even if you don't want to go around the farm, there is a good play area suitable for most ages although it's probably best to go when it's not raining!
