The 30 Best Children's space in Reading

“Went as a group of 3 to do the pirate themed escape room. Upon entering the we registered at reception and then waited for the room to be ready. Once ready Amy, who was our games master, got us some drinks to take in with us and escorted us to the room itself. 52 mins and 2 close later we had escaped!! A very well run experience would definitely go back to do another one of the 6 rooms they have!”

“I would recommend the 90 minute trip as gets all the way to the next lock, although some kids may prefer the 60 minutes. Captain was very friendly and informative with lots of skill navigating all the different vessels along the river.”

“Held my daughter’s 4th birthday here this month. The staff were helpful and friendly. Would recommend to any parent for a stress free party!”

“This children center is like the other in Bracknell, really good and helpful when you need activities with your baby and to meet other mothers. The staff is always helpful as well.”

“Always a great experience at goals! So many memories and great experiences! Tee and Ryan always keen to help!”

“Absolutely loved my visit! The team was super friendly and really knew their stuff, making me feel right at home. Everything was spotless, and the food was top-notch—definitely worth the money, despite it being a bit on the pricey side. I was impressed by how they checked in to make sure I was enjoying myself. Highly recommend this spot for a great time!”

“I would like to thank all at JumpIn Camberley. My wife booked a session for our 13 year old son's birthday and 4 friends. Lucy and Leah couldnt do enough for the boys, ensuring they all had socks, knew what to do. When it came to food and drinks again they made them all very happy, including going to extra mile to get the slushie requested.”

“The initial review, submitted on Friday, conveyed dissatisfaction regarding a £75 charge for an early check-in, which was two hours prior to the standard check-in time. It is important to clarify that only one room was booked, not two. Furthermore, our arrival was not at 12:30; however, the primary reason for the negative review was the perceived rudeness of the individual I spoke with over the phone. Moving forward, following my stay at the hotel on Saturday, I was granted both an early check-in and a late check-out, which was greatly appreciated. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and hospitality. The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness and offers a diverse selection of culinary options, including a main menu and a breakfast buffet. I highly recommend this establishment and would certainly choose to stay here again. My sincere thanks to the entire team for their accommodating service.”

“Thanks for Reading fc being generous for the friendly at Hungerford Town. Nice sell out crowd at bulpit Lane”

“Amazing staff! Thank you for the excellent service and support during our stay at Holiday Inn. As an IHG Club member, I truly felt appreciated. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, making our stay very comfortable. Dinner was excellent — the sea bass was especially vibrant, fresh, and delicious. My family was so happy with the food and service. Breakfast was also impressive, with a wide spread to choose from. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we look forward to staying again.”

“My almost 2yr old daughter recently started attending Partou. In the past two months I have had the privilege of watching her absolutely blossom. In such a short period of time the staff at Partou have played such an integral role in her development. My daughter is social, confident and most importantly happy. As a parent, the staff have been incredible. They are personable, kind, compassionate and their attention to detail is second to none. I know what my daughter has been up to on any given day and equally I know the plan for the week. I am at peace knowing my daughter is safe and cared for while I am working. I would highly recommend Partou!”

“My daughter is currently in year 1 at Grantham farm and has been there for 3 years. It is a small school with incredibly supportive staff who listen to parents and take comments on board. Education is tailored to each individual while keeping the overall Academic level very high. Children are encouraged rather than pushed and because of this remain very confident and happy, while continually achieving great results. The school continues to provide a strong sports program including tennis, yoga and general sports. Music and French are also part of the curriculum. The school has access to a lovely outdoor space and spend a good amount of time outdoors learning from nature. Overall I am very happy with the school and more importantly my daughter runs into school excited every morning.”

“I honestly cannot praise the staff in this store highly enough. They are knowledgeable, polite and extremely courteous. I had three separate interactions with staff in this store yesterday and they were all so helpful - best customer service I've had anywhere in a long time. Thank you, Team Calcot.”

“Had a 8th birthday party. Our host Darren was amazing. He kept all the children entertained for the whole time. There were some great team games. And the children enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much”

“DJ Nick ran my 14 year old's birthday party which we held in a village hall. He said he would transform the look of the hall with his light show and he absolutely did. The lights and sound quality were superb including happy birthday lights circling the dance floor with my daughter's name. The music selection was perfect, the kids were all dancing. Nick provided limbo as well which was a good icebreaker. Most of all though he was a brilliant compere for the party, getting all the kids engaged and up dancing (even the boys) , really funny, joined in to get dance moves going and appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself. I would recommend this company and use them again for a child or adult party.”

“Organised for the gaming bus for my son’s birthday. Good communication throughout, turned up in good time, and left with zero mess. My boy and his mates loved it. Would recommend highly.”

“Gabriel’s is the most wonderful welcoming outdoor learning environment. Not only do the children who attend grow and thrive the caregivers are really nurtured too. It’s truly a wonderful community to be part of. I would highly recommend families to come along to the wonderful adventure of learning and being outdoors in all weathers. The team that runs it are just the best, I am so grateful for all the kindness they have shown to my family and I.”

“When researching local nurseries I came across Pear Tree and loved how homely it looked. After viewing it in person and meeting the manager Maria and the deputy manager Joe, we decided it would be a good fit for our daughter. I’m so glad we did because Maria and her team are wonderful! They really take the time to get to know the children and come up with fun and creative activities for them to do. Our daughter’s confidence, language and social skills have come a long way since she started there which is a testament to the staff at Pear Tree Nursery - Thank you!!”

“What a superb experience for a team bonding event for a footy team of boisterous 15/16 year olds! Very professional set up, and Darren was fantastic with the boys and knew exactly how to get them going and manage their energy! We were most impressed with how they dealt with an 11th hour let down from the original venue who were nowhere to be seen when they arrived to set up. They found an even better facility in minutes just 10mins away. Thanks guys!”

“I took my son here yesterday and David and his colleague were so accommodating. My son was a bit worried about dark and loud noises but they warned us when this would happen and kept on a little light. Hints were very good and welcomed without telling us the answers. The room was so well themed, clean and so much fun! Can’t wait to go back and try an other one! We did the pharaoh one! 5 stars - would recommend!”

“We had the BEST time playing Outbreak at Zero Latency VR in Reading. The massive playing area was a breath of fresh air compared to our last VR experience, where you stood in a tiny square and couldn’t move around. It made for an extremely immersive experience where you’d have to physically walk to an objective and navigate the map, which also helped with motion sickness. We found the website and the booking system very user friendly. Each game had a detailed description, number of players, length of play time and a short video trailer. This made game selection very easy and stress free. We were impressed with the safety brief, the equipment demo and our games master, Will. He explained everything in detail with a bit of humour to make it interesting and easy to remember! Outbreak, a co-op zombie shooter, was extremely fun, fast-paced and kept us on edge the entire time with plenty of screaming throughout. Our group of four ranged from experienced gamers to complete newbies, and regardless of the level, everyone had an absolute blast. We loved the game result email sent to everyone afterwards, which included two highlight videos, breakdown of team/individual performances and stats compared to other players. This definitely added a competitive touch to our VR experience! This was a fantastic group activity, well priced and highly recommended. Easy 10 out of 10.”

“My son had a wonderful 5th birthday party. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, the children were engaged the whole time. Ben was brilliant with the children and they all made very exciting Lego models based on superhero’s and dinosaurs theme! The time of the session was perfect and we had to kings so we could sing happy birthday, then cur the cake while the children completed a final task! A wonderful birthday party MC would highly recommend.”

“We loved our first visit to Dragon Sensory and will definitely be back! The play area so clean with high quality toys. The music and lighting made it a hugely relaxing experience for me beyond just my baby’s needs which I wasn’t expecting! I loved that I was offered a cup of tea on arrival - just lovely to be taken care of. Thank you - what a fantastic business for the local community.”

“My 2 year old son and 7 year old niece enjoyed coming to play here together. It was something different from the usual softplay, I like the fact it was one free adult for each child entry. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. The place was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was the baby changing facilities being in the only mens toilet, could do with one in the ladies changing area. Hidden gem.”

“Took six 10-year-olds to the Escape Room for a birthday party and they had a great time! Was initially worried they might be too young for it, but definitely not. Janos was a great host - really entertaining and fun, and was very good at keeping them moving/providing hints when necessary. Highly recommended!”

“Our son has been going to Teepee for 5 months now and his development since he started is amazing. The staff are so caring and personable and it is clear that the children’s development, well-being and happiness is so important to them. We have no concerns whatsoever about leaving him. He absolutely loves being there and he always has the biggest smile when we pick him up...the array of facilities that the nursery has for the children to use and benefit from is amazing. He gets to eat a variety of lovely home cooked food and whilst he’s enjoying all of that, we are sent updates and pictures through an app which is lovely and much appreciated! The staff have always been willing and able to speak to us about any questions or concerns we may have and that has been the case since day one. Choosing Teepee was the best decision we could have made!”

“Forest segway was super fun. However, 1hour felt very short and we've wished it was at least 30mins longer to fully enjoy the ride.”
