Kid friendly activities in Stoke

“The staff at Shrewsbury are a real credit to an excellent fun place. They are so helpful and look as if they genuinely enjoy being with the children. There are plenty of staff spaced around, in case your child needs help or you need any advice. Definitely 5 stars to this place. The toilets are okay which is to be expected with children but the overall cleanliness is great.”

“This is a brilliant nursery my daughter willow has really enjoyed her time at the nursery and they have really helped her with her special needs. Recommend this nursery to anyone”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Joining Nuffield Health Stoke has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my wellbeing. The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and welcoming—but what’s truly made the difference are Kellie’s BodyCombat and Bodypump classes. Kellie is an outstanding instructor. Her energy, encouragement, and clear guidance make every session feel empowering. Whether you’re punching through a tough Combat routine or pushing through reps in Pump, she creates an atmosphere that’s both motivating and inclusive. Since joining, my confidence has grown massively. I feel stronger, more capable, and genuinely excited to show up each week. Kellie’s classes have helped me push past limits I didn’t know I had—and I always leave feeling proud of what I’ve achieved.”

“My son loves it here. Highly rated nursery +++”

“I took my granddaughter (20 months) here for the first time last week. A warm welcome from Hollie and a lovely session with plenty of toys. Great to see suggestions on the wall to support your child’s development in each area and my granddaughter particularly enjoyed the sensory room. We will be visiting again.”

“Gemma was amazing for our son’s 5th birthday. We had so many comments about how good Gemma’s work was. We were super impressed and will definitely be keeping her in mind for future events and parties!”

“Nice big function room and nice friendly staff good toliet faculty only down side their no baby changing.”

“Fun morning katakanu and canoe session with teens. Naomi and Joe were very helpful and wanted us to get the most out of our session, so they tailored it to us. Beautiful setting to sit and have an ice-cream after with picnic benches outside. We had a voucher from friends, and this experience would be an excellent experience present for a family.”

“This was my first time witnessing ballroom in real and live action~ quite frankly, I’ve never experienced anything like it! The atmosphere was incredible! Everyone was so kind, caring, and woven with such genuine passion- I am lost for words! I didn’t even dance, but with every incredibly created dress, dance and character that whizzed past- all coming together with so many stories to tell and to watch unravel, reveal and experience form the sides, through every fleet- pleat and ember- absolutely swooned and took me away in its lift for hours- euphoric! So deeply moving and passionate, as if I was the one dancing with them- it makes you want to just get up and dance! The Quick Quick Slow dance studio alike were very warm and welcoming- even for a newbie like myself who had no idea what to expect- and this goes for competitors alike! I was ushered in and enlightened with how some of the dances were conceived- what moves meant- even how it felt to feel them too; an insight that elevated with every show-stopping event I witnessed! So much encouragement and unreal passion! This has been an experience that I’ve waited to see for years- all the way from little ‘ol Shrewsbury too~ I even awoke the next morning with effervescent dreams of joyous jives and swinging like a serenade under a new lover’s light- ballroom; roaring and revelling in the tunes for hours on end! I’ll definitely be back again! I hope so too. The only downside was that I knew I eventually had to go back home! :)”

“We had a birthday party here today. All the staff were so lovely and friendly. It was very clean. We used the party room upstairs and the kids loved the bubbles and foam disco!”

“Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Katy kindly assisted me in finding suitable shoes. Overall, it was a good shopping experience.”

“Funzone (now under new management) is a saviour for us! Not only is the coffee good (with endless far too tempting seasonal options), and the cakes delicious, the kids love the new menu which manages to hit that not too big, not too small spot. There's always something new the kids have worked out how to do and new friends to be made. They also do lots of really great events, with characters and crafts and endless prizes + mine adore the build your own soft toy events especially! Would always recommend as a great way to tire the kids out, and keep them moving (with out them trashing your house!) - also have held a bday party here and it was so easy with 25 happy kids and I barely lifted a finger.”

“The staff today really helped myself and my sister out with our four crazy kids. We got a summer deal that meant we got a game of bowling , laser tag and a meal for the kids - it was really good value for money. The staff were really helpful and helped out two stressed out mums today- thank you!”

“Only problem is it gets very busy! It's a lovely playground in a beautiful setting. The nearby visitor's center provides refreshments and toilet facilities.”

“We took our baby girl for her first birthday and stayed two nights in an In the Night Garden room. It was the best time of her little life and there for me, too! The hotel is perfect for little ones, so baby friendly with so much thought gone in to the design. Including travel cot, baby bath, bottle warmer and nappy bin in the room. The lobby itself was interactive and magical and my little girl was blown away to bump into her two faves - Upsy Daisy and Iggle Piggle doing a meet and greet in the hotel. Parking was easy, plenty of it and right in front of the hotel which is great when you’ve got a car full of baby supplies. Breakfast is very good and they do veggie sausages on request. Evening food was lovely one night but not so good the second. Tiny tots menu was very good. Drinks and food were expensive, but that wasn’t really a surprise as this is the case with most resorts like this. I’ve been singing the hotels praises to any parent who will listen and we will definitely come back when our daughter is older and the Bluey ride is open. Only negatives (or just something to mention) is that the signage in the area (Alton towers area) generally is pretty poor and sometimes misleading/confusing, but it’s easy to find a member of staff to ask for directions when needed. Special shout out to Sam on reception who answered all my questions before we arrived and was super helpful. Thanks for calming my first time mum nerves!”

“Lovely place for kids to play! Feels safe and can let your children be children without the worry of them getting out of the play area. Would definitely recommend. Safe are helpful and very friendly.”

“Was quite anxious as my 7 and 10 yo went off in different direction. Staff friendly and had the use of AI life guarding, continually scanning swimmers and those in trouble. Rides where great, queues manageable, pools warm , food was a bit pricey. Parking free.”
