Children's space in Bedford

“I took my team here to the Saw escape room. I'd never been to an escape room before but we all had a brilliant time. Many thanks to our host Amy - excellent indeed. We are sorry for stealing your key but it should be back with you tomorrow morning. Take care and well done on providing such a good experience!”

“I have done all the rooms here and enjoyed every one. The puzzles are very well though out and the staff are always super helpful and enthusiastic. We did the new prison van escape room and it was awsome. It's a real prison van so adds to the experience. The puzzles are brilliant and there is some nostalgia added in too. Definitely well worth booking.”

“Great theatre. Fabulous staff and the production value of the shows we've seen has been spot on!”

“Great store with everything you could possibly need for your crafting, drawing, art etc Store is clearly laid out. Lots of free parking. Staff always happy to direct you or help find what you want. They often have promotions and workshops.”

“I can always find something for every occasion. This time birthday gifts for a 7 year old obsessed with Mario and Luigi. Unsure why Halloween items are out already :(”

“Really great service and the quality of the log cabin is better than expected! I think the idea of a 'self build' initially had us concerned, but for anyone else having that concern I would say don't think twice. The delivery time was advised as 6 weeks, but was ready for delivery within 1 week of ordering which was a nice suprise. The instructions were easy to follow and the videos on YouTube were very helpful. We purchased a Terminator Log Cabin 3m x 3m, and added an additional side window. The 2 guys on delivery were very helpful and nice, dropped on the curb we which knew as per the guidance online and we unpacked and carried into the back garden, took around 30 mins so not long at all. The build itself was easy enough, hardest bit was getting it square really. Took 2 of us around 2 days to build (not DIY experts). We found the video on YouTube of the Dunster House staff building the terminator cabin useful, although it's not meant as an instructional video. The quality of the materials is fantastic, thick logs which provide a lot of insulation. We had some warped pieces, but spares are provided so we were able to discard the warped ones. It's been built now for a month or so and it has begun to 'settle', with the odd bit of movement in the logs, but nothing that we can't knocked back in. 1 piece between the door and window seems to have cracked, which is a shame since the quality overall is good, but since it's in the middle of all the logs there isn't much we can do about it, short of dismantling the whole cabin. Overall a really great experience with Dunster House and fully recommended to anyone who is unsure on level of service or quality of product.”

“Our son went to pre-school here (age 3-4). He always loved going, learned loads, continued to develop his confidence and was always doing interesting stuff, like handling snakes, learning about space or simply making stuff. Their rates are also reasonable, with all food taken care of. Staff were really lovely. Would recommend to anyone, and if we ever made the mistake of having another kid, we'd happily send them there too.”

“After a long period of thinking, we made a decision to send our 18months old Ezekiel to a nursery.However the next question was where to send him. When we enquired, people said best reviews about Kidi Karu.. Ezekiel joined the nursery at the beginning of December 2024 and within 2 months he became a super child. He started to talk like a genius .All the staff members are super good.Activities that children does in the school are excellent. Thank you so much for moulding our son.. Julie Jacob and Arun Thomas(Mom and Dad)”

“Great little theatre, staging is welll done and each seat has a decent view of the performance no matter where you sit, the amenities could do with an update, toilets are a little sad looking and the water pressure for the taps stops when anyone flushes, the refreshment selection could also do with a few more options. The staff are outstanding however, everyone is friendly and chatty, I think most are volunteers, which is always nice to see, from the lads helping parking to the people ushering to seats, not a bad word to be said. Have visited a few times and never a bad experience, tickets are well priced and everyone clearly has a love for the performance on and off the stage”

“Lovely little charity cafe that is a pleasure to spend time in - skip the Starbucks and come here instead! Their drinks are ridiculously cheap as they aren't out to make a profit but are just as good quality as any other cafe's. The food selection is more limited but they get lovely cakes in on Mondays - well worth writing in your calendar! However, the building is more than a cafe: it is definitely a warm and welcoming community space. The cafe has a corner filled with board games and puzzles, you are welcome to work/hold meetings there, and there are weekly craft sessions, soup kitchens and more. You know you'll be met with a friendly smile and that any money you do spend there will go directly to a good cause.”

“Fantastic for a family day out! Want to try paddle boarding, wakeboarding or water skiing, or try your ninja skills on the inflatable obstacle? Maybe watersports aren't your thing, how about Disc Golf, Foot Golf or archery? Bit far to travel? Camp! My only issue is food is a tad pricey for what you get at the lakeside hut, £5 for a processed boiled hotdog with no option for onions or anything is a tad steep, I'd expect a proper sausage for that price, but it is what it is! Still a great destination, and there's some baby ducks this time of year too!”

“Excellent theatre, really friendly & helpful staff. Great facility for disable children. Car parking right outside the front door too.”

“I recently visited this hidden gem of a vegan cafe located on a boat near the skate park, and it was an absolute delight. Despite not knowing about its existence until a friend's recommendation, I'm so glad I discovered it. The entire menu is vegan-friendly, catering perfectly to our party's dietary preferences. The service was exceptional; the lady serving us was incredibly polite and friendly, making our first visit feel warm and welcoming. We appreciated how accommodating they were to our requests, happily making changes to our orders without any fuss. Even when they ran out of nuggets, they went above and beyond by deducting it from the bill, a gesture that truly impressed us. The food arrived promptly and exceeded our expectations in taste and presentation. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Despite being initially quiet, the cafe gradually filled up, creating a lively ambiance. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that left us all thoroughly satisfied and eager to return.”

“Perfect for all ages, cafe and parking on site.”

“We had my son’s 11th birthday there today and all the kids had an absolute blast. The team were fantastic and made us feel so welcome. We also had pizzas to finish and the food was great. Thank you for a memorable birthday”

“We love the facilities here and can't wait for our son to enjoy what there is to offer as he gets bigger! Staff are all very polite and friendly.”

“The team at Marston Day Nursery have been exceptional. Right from day one, their communication has been excellent, their vast knowledge of childcare across the team is very impressive. My son has settled so well here compared to another nursery and that’s because the team spent one on one time with him, made him feel he could play and express himself there and also allowed parents to be in the settling in sessions if needed. The nursery is furnished to a very high standard and has lots of toys to suit every child. They also often take trips outdoors and have an excellent garden for outside play. All the team are a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery.”

“Such a bright, large hall. Very clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Hired the hall back in May for my daughters party. Family and friends who don’t know the area were very impressed with the hall as were we not having used it before. Will definitely hire again in the future.”

“Our little one goes to Play2Learn, started off in baby room and now transitioned to pre-school. It’s a great setting with incredible staff. His key worker is brilliant! I would highly recommend it to parents looking for a nurturing setting for their little ones.”

“Kizomba Juction here on a Monday night is epic! Great teachers. Everyone so warm and friendly and plenty of parking.”

“Over 2 years ago, we got married at this location. The day was perfect. The staff were helpful throughout the planning process and the day itself went without issue. 2 years later, we came back, now with our son, for our 2 year Anniversary. Again, the staff were extremely professional, the food was worth more than what they charged, and, to help us celebrate, some items were made free for us. I cannot say just how amazing every aspect of the Woodland Manor Hotel is and the staff are amazing”

“This is a great place for a walk, and really great if you have kids that like to run around a lot and like wind turbines. Parking is reasonably priced, but not free. The visitor's centre is a beautiful building which has information, a shop, and a cafe inside. Dogs are welcome in the cafe. Outside of that is a playground area with swings, slides, and a good network of ropes as a climbing frame.”

“I was booked to perform in the Village Hall for the Kings Coronation after party. It's a fantastic hall for almost any occasion with lots of amenities including a large patio area that leads into the park Socials: Sonik Wave Mobile Disco”

“Staff were so lovely and friendly, the girls at the café were happy to help, don't always find this service and smiley faces at soft play. Would like to give a special thank you to Karen! You made the visit more enjoyable thank you !”
