   Brilliant Theatre company for young people and children! I've watched many performances here and they have all been such a high standard. My daughter attends a few workshops here and she absolutely loves it! The café has lovely food and drinks and all the staff here are very helpful and kind. Parking is limited as it has a small car park but there are other places to park nearby.

   Went to the baby group last week with just myself and little boy, all the mums are very cliquey tried to smile/chat with several of them and I got dirty looks or one-worded answers, made me feel so uncomfortable and awkward, as a young first time mum being spoke about and ignored by middle aged women is so disheartening and was/is your worst fear to be judged by them. Not to mention the toys BABIES are supposed to play with don’t get wiped or washed I went to give my son a butterfly Lamaze sensory toy and it had spit up from another child on it. 100% don’t recommend unless your a “type A” mum and carry around some Milton with you. The last thing I’m going to mention whereas it’s great that this sensory room is inclusive to all ages, there was a 6 week baby on the floor and what looked like a 1 year old running around? To me that doesn’t seem safe surely one of the days could maybe be for little babies?

   Great little theatre that does alot for children's drama. They also have good productions of drama. The cafe does a good coffee, some cakes, and also some hot food like panini and toasties, with a nice area to sit in. The parking by the theatre is very limited so you can try this, or there is parking on the road in the nearby housing estate - details on the website.

   My daughter loves playbox. She's been to two of the holiday camps now and has such a great time. The teachers are wonderful and the setup is brilliant. We all went to see one of the big shows last year as well which amazing, the older actors/singers will be this generations next west end stars, no doubt about it.

   The dream factory is an exceptional theatre full of life, echoing the finest of all the arts in its finest form. Every performance has been phenomenal! The young talent is immensely magnificent. The staff are incredibly kind, warm and welcoming. It honestly feels like you are part of the family here! Qualities that make you want to keep returning, ready for more memories to share and create. My children are at their best here, it’s amazing what one is capable of in the right hands! The cafe is full of delicious meals and homemade treats! The staff are ever so courteous, always up for a quick chat in between their busy orders! Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the many classes they have to offer or to simply immerse yourselves into an entirely different world. Love what you’re doing here!

   Attended the sensory session today for toddlers, it was a gorgeous little lay out, lots of costumes and props for them to play with. The cafe was also pleasant with lots on offer and a reasonable price! I’ve knocked off a star as we unfortunately had no choice but to leave as it felt like a sauna in the play room, I heard lots of other mums complaining of feeling too hot and over heard someone asking the woman about the heating to which she answered ‘there is a window open’. It was honestly unbearable in there, we would’ve stayed longer but felt like we was going to pass out. Such a shame.
