We had such a lovely time at PlayTown Sheffield! It’s such a well thought out space with 8 themed areas perfect for little imaginations. My two absolutely loved dressing up and exploring all the different zones from the mini supermarket to the vets and the shops. We also went during their egg hunt and it was such a fun bonus activity! The staff were friendly, the space was clean and well-organised, and I really liked that everything is reset between sessions so it feels fresh every time. The outdoor play area was a great extra touch, and having a little coffee spot for grown-ups is always appreciated! Definitely recommend for anyone with young children looking for something fun and different to do in Sheffield.

Wow we have just been with our 11 month old and we all loved it. It was clean, the perfect sized venue and the staff were lovely. The attention to detail is amazing. It wasn’t chaotic and just perfect for us. We have booked in again already.

Today was our first time at the sensory class. My grandson and I had a great time. The staff were very friendly, attentive and very welcoming. The toys and atmosphere were really good and all the equipment etc was very clean. The coffee and cake went down really well after a great session. Thank you so much for a great morning.

Such a lovely place for babies and young children. Big indoor space filled with amazing toys that are all in great condition, a lovely cafe where you can feed baby or sit and relax and safely watch child play and a great outdoor area with mud kitchens, water tables, swings/ slides. The staff are welcoming and friendly and really go that extra mile to keep things clean and running smoothly. The coffee is great! It’s quickly become one of my favourite places to take my little one.

We go to playtimes every week to a sensory class, and have done since my daughter was 3 months old. We love everything about playtimes, especially the lovely staff who are always to warm and welcoming. The space and all the toys are always clean and in very good condition, and encourage lovely play and interactions. We all usually stay after the class for drinks and snacks and to play in the lovely outdoor space. It's a highlight of our week!

I was expecting a 90 minute play session and it was only 75 but it flew and we really enjoyed the session. The play equipment for our 13month old was the best I’ve seen and she enjoyed the monkey and music. A lovely atmosphere all round, lovely coffee and snacks, and the bonus of some extended play outdoors which was great with it being a sunny day. Not the cheapest play centre but worth a visit.

We had such an amazing visit to Playtimes Playtown! From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm welcome and the staff were incredibly polite and accommodating. The play centre itself is so well set up – really organised, clean, and tidy, with brilliant resources for babies and children. It was lovely to meet and chat with other parents and carers too – such a friendly atmosphere. Everything was explained to us so clearly, which made the whole experience really smooth. My little one absolutely loved it, and I could see how much thought has gone into making it enjoyable and inclusive for everyone. On top of that, the coffee was amazing (a big win for us parents!). We’ll definitely be back again soon and are excited to try out some of the classes you run too. Highly recommend!

This place is a hidden gem. I have one day a week off work with my daughter and like to try new places. The themed events here are well thought through but the best thing about it was the staff and how they interacted with me and my daughter. We felt welcomed and enjoyed every minute. We will be back
