Children's space in Bristol

“I cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. Our children have attended for 2+ years and we've now experinced all three levels - baby, toddler, and preschool. In each level, our children have had exceptional relationships with the staff, who are professional, attentive carers. The carers engage gently with children, and we appreciate their skills in addressing issues and communicating with parents. They create a calm, home-like atmosphere and encourage creativity, collaboration and friendships between the children. Their forest school area is fantastic - you get the best of a regular nursery and a forest school in one place, with children able to be outside almost every day either in the outdoor play area or the forest. Their staff post frequent updates and photos to be able to see what the children are doing throughout their day. The admin treat us with respect and they are professional and prompt in responding to issues. But most important - our children adore this place. They talk about their carers when they are at home, and they are happy to go and see their friends. They tell us about seeing squirrels and playing in the forest.”

“A beautiful lido. It has a really big main pool with half sectioned for lane swimming during the open swim session, so you can still swim. There is a slide on the open part. Great cafe, which is cheap. Fantastic ticket value for the facilities.”

“Great little shop and very friendly owners”

“Love all the open space, love the play park facilities”

“We booked Lyde Green Community Centre for our son’s third birthday party which took place today. We were so pleased with our booking and will likely be booking with them again in the future. They were incredibly reasonable in price and had plenty of tables and chairs and also a huge soft play selection available to hire for just an additional £35 - the kids absolutely loved this! One of the reasons we hired a sports hall was because we wanted our son and his friends to be able to ride their balance bikes and scooters around which the hall were more than happy for us to do. Communication was really good throughout the whole booking process and after and I’ll be recommending to everyone.”

“Brilliant venue with large space perfect for classes and parties. Great facilities with well equipped kitchen. The sound system is good too. Would highly recommend this venue for hire.”

“Brilliant soft play! It’s massive, with areas for everyone. Staff were friendly and my 21 month old loved it. It was clean and the coffee was nice and hot. Not the cheapest but I’m happy to support an independent and well-run business. We got our money’s worth, too!”

“What an amazing soft play. Well worth every penny the staff are so friendly and nice. The venue is so clean and colourful wish I lived closer so I could visit more often”

“Wonderful place to visit in any weather, lovely walks in all directions well worth a visit ,make sure when the cafe is open if you fancy drinks”

“Smart, slick and the coffee was pretty good and at a sensible price. The cakes looked good but I didn't try them. Ever since Liz Truss was in power coffee has gone up, chocolate too, I can't think why. But at £2.40 that's good compared to some places at £3.45.”

“The Three Kings of Rock and Roll. Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Elvis. FANTASTIC.”

“Wow what a great little venue. This is my 2nd time at the Jam Jar seeing the Fantastic Supalung. Such a friendly vibe. Very cool stage with underwear theme. Can't wait to go back again.”

“Great space, gorgeous exhibition and enjoyed a gorgeous gong/sound performance.”

“Beautiful National Trust site. Excellent walks with stunning views. Dyrham Park house is just stunning with beautiful gardens, church, and ponds. You have video history, tea rooms, and a mobility bus for the elderly and disabled. Really helpful, informative staff. We would highly recommend.”

“I've been here plenty of times over the years either for Friday Fun on a Friday Evening or for Stay & Play Cafe”

“Lovely lodge everything you need. Kids very impressed with WiFi. Bistro on site amazing food and value for money cost online with any pub you go to staff all lovely. 15m drive to bath ( in bath no free parking for disabled and expensive ) Only complaint was did put on booking someone with mobility issue but parking on a slight incline (luckily the person with mobility issues didn't come) so was not a issue in this occasion but could of been. Curtains a bit frayed but no means spoilt the visit. Would def go back.”

“Large grounds, hall and full kitchen facilities with disabled access and very reasonably priced.”

“My 11 month old daughter loved the under 2s soft play area, lots of sensory stuff to keep there minds busy, there is also other sections for different ages aswell as a cafe, parking area which can get full but spaces outside on the street”

“Lovely place for Children to spend time outdoors and nice sessions indoors as well”

“We got married at Folly Farm in August 2024, having found them from a search along the lines of "eco organic outdoor wedding". Folly Farm delivered on that, along with wonderful staff and a fabulous venue. Matt and Claire and the team are really lovely people who just want their couples to have a fabulous day, and that came through in the way they took every request in their stride, always with a smile. We found that the venue worked really well, - with the lovely flow from the dining/disco area, to the bar, and out to the courtyard with the amazing views meaning that guests could be in the areas they wanted to, and could move between them easily. The food is fantastic, plentiful and great value. No one went hungry, and we had feedback that it was the "best wedding food ever". We opted for the sharing platters, - homemade bread, delicious lamb and local veggies (some grown on the farm itself). It's hearty, souful and friendly. Both the food and drink are really good value too. There are about 20 rooms on site, which was great as many of our guests could stay on site (and some camped). They might be considered functional rather than luxurious by some, some of the guest bathrooms are slighly tired in places, and some of the rooms really need clothers rails (we brought our own in), but they were all clean and comfortable. We we a little worried that if it was really wet and we couldn't use the wonderful outside space, it might have been a bit cramped for the 95 or so guests we had (including about 20 kids, who loved using the open space) but we were blessed with a warm sunny day, so didn't find that out. We'd definitely recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a chilled, eco concious, relaxed venue, with fantastic service and food.”

“A really good and large play area for children of all ages. There are 3 sections. 1 has the older play frames for the older kids, with tall climbing frames and a large tube slide. There is an area with a swing. There is also an area for the smaller kids, which is newer. There are swings, a smaller play frame, disability swings and a sand area with a ship and small climbing frame. There are plenty of benches in the play areas. There is something for everyone. For crawling babies & toddlers, there isn't much to do other than go on the swings and the seesaw.”

“Had a brilliant walk around the grounds with a members of our WI. Lovely, perfect day sunny but breezy, plans for blackberry picking abound! Ended with a coffee and cake with super views towards river Severn. Wedding was happening in the house, can't think of a better location for a wedding.”

“I cannot express how much I love visiting shows at the Tobacco Factory, whether for myself or my daughter. The shows are always incredibly well done, wonderfully unique, creative and fun.”

“Great place to make birthday party!!!”

“Attended an agility competition there, fabulous venue, great walks for the dogs. Lovely surface to run on. Had a lovely breakfast in the restaurant.”

“Beautiful place to visit and free entry, surrounding grounds are a lovely walk, the castle itself was very interesting and was a real mix of history. Thoroughly recommend for an afternoon out, there is a cafe and facilities on site, along with a small gift shop.”

“I came to Zed for the first time to see a battle of the bands, supporting the band Blue Crow who I've seen before at the fleece, one of the main Bristol venues. Despite this place being really new and a fair bit smaller, I'd honestly say the sound was mixed way more professionally, volume levels were way better and it made listening to Blue Crow even more enjoyable! Acoustics were great and there's already a great alt scene present, the selection of bands were awesome and the staff were lovely! Tidy little venue!”

“This is a really impressive mansion with some incredible grounds and plantings for flowers around it. If you’re in the area and have the time I think you would really enjoy it. There’s apple parking. It is about a 10 minute walk from the parking area to the house in 10 minutes back”

“I am just about to enroll my third child into Little Willows nursery. A new nursery has opened much closer to me but I still want to make the journey across town to Little Willows because I know and trust them and can't fault the way they run the place and what they have done for our children so far. All the staff are polite and friendly and seem to love working there. They are all friends with each other and that really creates a great atmosphere. I value their opinion and often ask them over my health visitor!! They were as excited as my family were when we told them no.3 was on the way! Very flexiable - you can move or add days if there is availability. They really get to know your children and how to handle them to help them grow. Thank you Little Willows! Keep up the good work x”

“Very modern designed building, plenty of parking, comfortable seating, with accessibility a major design feature.”
