Playtime in Stoke

“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!”

“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.”

“Check in was easy. The facilities are a great size and I love that each area is clearly marked for age groups. Equipment was clean and well maintained. Like that the tables go all the way around the sides, not bunched together in a corner. Had some coffee and a bite to eat as well. Lovely morning out. Will definitely be back.”

“Amazing little place. Food and service really good. Attended the Halloween Party and the staff never left the children they were always doing something with the kids. Well done Maisy & Chloe you smashed it.”

“Lovely nursery, the staff are so friendly. extremely clean, always have new ideas for the children to learn and play and develop x”

“my 18 month old has been coming here for 6 months now and she's come a long way since! she adores the staff and always has a smile on her face when we are at the nursery doors. great nursery! :)”

“Absolutely amazing venue and group of ladies who look after the tumble tots as they go from apparatus to apparatus..always smiling and interacting with the children,always helping. My granddaughter Clarabella loves it ,has learned how to wait her turn,how to interact with children and the t.t staff..”

“Wonderful nursery with excellent facilities for a range of kids. Flexible options in terms of when kids can go and the staff are brilliant. Our little boy jumps out of our arms to see the likes of Courtney and Hannah now which is comforting. Lots of updates and feedback & the team seem to really care. Would definitely recommend. Update: August 2024 and this review remains the same. Fabulous place and fabulous staff”

“My two boys love this nursery! They took a long time to settle as they have never been left at all and the staff were so patient and caring through that. They now love coming to nursery ❤️”

“I went there a long time ago and loved it but now I sometimes give them a nice visit”
