Children's entertainment space in Portsmouth

“Beautiful views , tunnels are fun, it's basically on my doorstep.”

“Went to this year’s firework display 2024, first time going. Wanted to say thank you for a spectacular display it was amazing and I had a great evening. Great atmosphere and food as well!”

“I love this venue, been to a decent number of comedy shows here and they've always been good fun. It's a small and intimate venue, I'd guess it's less than 80 capacity so there's not a bad seat in the house. Drinks are cheap and there's a decent selection of local beers which includes Bowman Ales.”

“An excellent venue for a party! We had my grandson's birthday party there yesterday - the hall is large and accommodated 3 large bouncy castles! The hall was clean and secure, the price was good and the staff were welcoming and helpful.”

“Been a member for nearly 40 years . Great staff , good tables . Prices are competitive. My late father was a member from the late 50's onwards as well”

“We have joined Waypoint church recently. Everyone had made us feel so welcomed. Even with masks still on people have been really lovely. The sermons/ talks are so good ... Always something that resonates. Something to grow in. The worship is so wonderful. Really sense the presence of God. Through it all.... thankful to them all.”

“Took a very mixed group of folks after hours. We hired out the arena and did two games. Everyone went crazy. It was so much fun. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I can only recommend that to anyone who is looking for something fun to do with a larger group.”

“Attended an all day Beginners course. Great tuition and support from Richard. A fun, helpful and confidence building day. Great facilities, lots of options and not so busy you have to wait to climb any wall. Very child friendly and a lovely cafe overlooking the beach. Visited again this weekend. Good value for money.”

“The best atmosphere in football. Thought we'd treat ourselves to the padded seats. Great day out, great game and lovely staff.”

“I love this venue it’s one of my favourites to perform. My comedy Magic and disco shows in. There are lots of different rooms. All of them are great lots of space. There’s also lots of free parking outside and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.”

“Me and the kids love this park. Not only is the park the best in Portsmouth in terms of the fixtures within it, but it has a wide open area for sports, a BMX track and a great area to spend as a family in our community.”

“Amazing venue, great staff and the rates for hiring the venue are really reasonable. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to host a special event or a regular meeting locally.”

“In 2021 I approached Leila at Springwood Community Centre nervously with my business idea. I was exploring the local need for a creative group to support wellbeing. Yet I was still in recovery from my own mental health illness. I still am. Leila made me feel heard, supported and understood. She was one of the people who gave me the confidence to move forward with my idea. That idea is now an established community business. We support 10s of people every week across the local area. We have a team of 9 volunteers, many who live nearby Springwood CC. Our group at Springwood is a huge success supporting many people every week. I’m writing this review as this weekend I was reminded of the kindness of the Staff at the centre. I was hosting an event for local families, I made a mistake which meant 5 minutes before opening we had to move 10 tables and all of the accompanying chairs into another hall. Brook, one of the caretakers at the centre, jumped straight in to help. Without his support the event would not have been ready for the arriving children and I probably would’ve sat on the floor and cried. Brook, like all the members of staff at the centre, is always willing to help without complaint. He always welcomes people with a smile and is willing to listen and support members of the community. The staff at this centre are what community is all about. Thank you for your continued support of me and everyone who attends the centre.”

“First time at The Clanfield Centre and had a great time. Staff very friendly and helpful”

“Gosport park is a great place for young children as well as adults it has a well equipped adventure park for the children and it has several sport pitches for rugby and football pending on what season it is.”

“Great park. Really good zipline and even a wheelchair swing (swing temporarily closed due to wasp nest - August 2018)”

“Our daughter goes here to Whiteley Pre-School, by far the best pre school experience we have had and highly recommend!”

“Our son has been going to Wonder House Nursery for about a year now and he enjoys it so much. Drop off and pick-up is really efficient which is handy when busy with work. They really focus on his personal development with teeth brushing, self feeding and social skills. The feedback you get has been so much better than other experiences we have had getting an update everyday on the app with photos to see what he’s been up to. The baby room team are so lovely and personable you feel so welcome and they are such a credit to the nursery, thank you!”

“Had my daughters 5th Birthday Party today at Busy Town and as always we are very impressed. It was one of the most enjoyable children's parties I have booked, so easy and so good! Busy Town did the food and party bags so all we had to do was turn up with the cake and everything was taken care of. Julie and Hannah are fab and us adults could just socialise whilst the children played freely with all of the toys. If you want a hassle free party this is the way to go!”

“Country Mouse Nursery have been a huge part of my little boys development and he has learnt so many things from the fabulous staff. We get so many compliments from external people saying how clever, polite and kind our little boy is, and the nursery staff play a huge part in this !! He loves going into nursery to see his friends and all the staff! As parents we are so happy to see him thrive in this environment and watch him turn into a happy little boy. The activity days for the kids are amazing, and sometimes we are gobsmacked without how much they have done throughout the week. We never have any concerns or worries .. our little boy is in the safest hands and the best environment for him to learn and be happy! Country Mouse is the perfect nursery for your little ones :)”

“My son has been attending Tenderlinks since he was 10 months old. He settled really quickly, thanks to the wonderful staff looking after him. We receive regular observations about his development which is really reassuring and their app is updated daily with info regarding food and naps etc. The team encourage lots of outdoor play and learning but also come up with lots of fun things to do indoors too. We are really impressed with how well our son is doing, he seems really happy and is learning lots.”

“I moved my son here when they first started being open 51 weeks, as a working parent I needed wraparound care. Set in a lovely location with a huge green, a newly build hall, allotments & local parks that they visit - this is the perfect setting. With a close relationship with the practitioners you know your little ones are having more 1-2-1 as it is a smaller setting. Lots of activities to do as well as daily walks, outings to the local supermarket. It is enjoyed by all. They also had visits from ambulances, forest school leaders etc With daily updates on Tapestry I knew my son was having the best time as well as being well updated with news & events. It was easy to communicate with the staff. Cecilia, my sons Key Worker was fantastic. Always keeping me updated with my son’s progress and any problems I would be notified. Thank you Claire, Hannah and the rest of the team. We miss Little Learners!”

“Really nice place, with a lot to play.”

“Lovely venue, draft beer. Friendly staff.”

“My mum goes to "Monday club" here weekly. The volunteers are wonderful, and despite my mums sometimes reluctance to leave the house, she always comes back with a full tummy a raffle prize and a big smile. The venue in the church hall has a well kitted kitchen is clean and maintains a good temperature. A great example of what is good about releigon... the community support.”

“Very clean and very quiet when I visited plenty to play on and quite shut off from the road, also has a decent size field with it.”

“My daughter held her wedding reception here it was brilliant Great staff good bar prices Very clean toilets”

“This is in regards to the in-house café. Their food is amazing! I've becoming a returning customer. Great atmosphere, polite and helpful team. Highly recommend.”

“Helpful bar staff and a great venue to watch sport.”
