The Play Factory Skelton — Attraction in Skelton and Brotton

The best soft play I've been to! The equipment is all clean and well maintained (think I could only see scuffs on one piece of kit which is a million times better than I'm used to seeing - it looks really new). There's so many different bits to it, think 7 slides, cargo nets, tunnels, two sports courts, very good toddler area with sensory things and a ball firing machine. Toilets were all clean as well. The food was good, they said there would be a wait and after that amount of time the food turned up.

Our first visit since re-opening after Lockdown. Covid Safe and very well managed. Tables spaced out well and plenty of signage for information. Seemed like capacity was around 40% so nice and quiet.

Staff showed us to our table and explained what procedures to follow.

We saw staff constantly cleaning all play areas and slides.

The food, which is also part of the Eat out to help out government incentive, (Mon - Wed) was as lovely as always. After our slot was up, Play Factory closes for 30 mins so staff can sanitise after us.

We all felt very safe and the...

I've been to a fair few soft plays since the kids came along and I loved this one. It's a big-ish one with a go kart track (for an additional £1 per child rider), a small football pitch and lots of different size play areas for kids. Food offerings are good, although the sandwich I had off the board wasn't really what I ordered (chicken, stuffing and cranberry - no stuffing and more cranberry than chicken, but the chips are delicious). We rearranged a bunch of tables to accommodate our party and a sleeping child, and staff were fine with it. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's a bit on the expensive side (£11.90 for a 1yr old and a 3yr old) but I'd consider...
