Head Over Heels Play Centre

Head Over Heels is an award winning concept in indoor play combining an amazing play experience for children with our wholesome family restaurant and comfortable viewing areas for the adults. Newly refurbished, the play centre is big, bright, welcoming and also offers amazing party facilities. It has 2 cafes, one on the ground floor and the other Sky Terrace on the new mezzanine floor, with lift access. There is plenty of pram storage and a quiet private room for feeding. Offering special school day sessions during school term time with unlimited play time and reduced entry prices, with complimentary arts and crafts from 9.30-11am followed by a singalong with Hairy, our big blue mascot and friends.

Children ages 4 yrs. and over up to a height limit of 1.55cm

Guarded by our majestic knights, the large play frame offers hours of energetic play. Three levels of soft play fun and the fastest way to get down is on the fiery 3-lane Astro slide – if you can make it past the Dragon*. There is a sports court and sound and movement area with interactive play and a new augmented reality fun and games and sensory corner with bubble tube and infinity mirror for all ages to enjoy. Try out your dance moves on the groovy LED dance floor. A great way to exercise and meet new friends.

*At quieter times, usually school days, children aged 3 and under can play on the large play frame with adult supervision at all times, but the slide is not suitable for this age group.

Under 3's with adult supervision
Head Over Heels has an outstanding integrated toddler area for under 3's with height appropriate climbs and components, offering all the fun and excitement of the larger frame in a mini-scale. Go on an adventure in the amazing space sensory room, with glow in the dark spaceman, wall to wall galaxies, enjoy the stimulating bubble tubes, and climb into the rocket to take you to the moon. Other features include tunnels and horizontal rollers. Take a climb to the second level and walk the plank, cross the net bridge and whiz down the slide. There's a large, padded area for little ones still finding their feet with roundabout rides and animals to climb on. Or visit the castle and pretend to be king or queen for the day with role play areas. The toddler area has just one entrance in and out making it easy to keep an eye on your little ones and there's plenty of space for adults to sit.

This area is strictly for the use of children aged 3 and under with adult supervision.

*Head Over Heels recommends that valuables should be left at home or stored in lockers. Bring your own padlock for use on the lockers, and socks or tights must be worn in the play areas.

For full Fair Play Policy please visit the website https://www.headoverheelsplay.co.uk/fair-play-policy

Our Fair Play Policy only works if parents and guardians cooperate and encourage their children to play by the rules.

We design our play areas to encourage independent physical play for children aged 4 years and over. We allow adults on to the play frame to supervise if needed

For children aged 3 years and under, we have created exclusive gated baby and toddler play areas for use with adult supervision at all times. This allows children of this age group to play safely at their own pace, separate from the older children. For the safety of all our visitors we are required to manage access to this area and we cannot make exceptions.
