The Curiousity Mill — Local services in Wigan

5 stars without a doubt! Creative, sensory, messy & imaginitive play & more i cant think of. If you haven't been, then you need to! THE best place for pre schoolers. My grandson loves coming here. He always heads straight to the playdoh (which is scented & smells amazing by the way). Yesterday he absolutely loved the new messy play area that has recently been created. My favourite is the room with the house set up, vintage dolls prams etc, so much thought has gone & still does go into this little gem of a place. You better be quick as it books up sooo fast. No overcrowding like other play centres, 8 children per session which means you can pretty much play with what you want, when you want. Hot drinks are available to buy along with snacks. Toilet & nappy changing facilities are also available. I've been coming here for quite a while now & the lady who owns it, (sorry can't remember your name) is lovely. She recognises the children as soon as she sees them. Bookings only to make it fair. Big 👍 👍 up from me & Oliver aged 2.5yrs,...

Amazing!! We go most weeks and it never gets repetitive, some occasions we don’t even leave one room. It’s lovely to spend quality time playing together. Leanne is amazing, nothing is too much trouble. She remembers names, your drinks order and loves getting involved playing with the children and babies. The Curiosity Mill is homely and welcoming and FULL of all the toys and learning opportunities you wish you had time and space for at home. If you’re after a ‘dump and go’ style play centre with a cafe and somewhere to pretend you’ve not got children, then this isn’t for you. If you’re after quality time with your child, purposeful play, fun and learning and a chat with some other lovely parents, aunties, grandparents then get yourself on a waiting list...

I booked our daughters 3rd Birthday party at The Curiosity Mill and it couldn't have been more perfect. The party ranged from children 8 months old to 11 years old and when you looked around the children weren't just entertained, but actively engaged with the activities. A few parents commented that their child was so calm when the session ended, not like normal children's parties where they are a bit overstimulated. The space is beautiful and every little corner is thoughtfully created by Leanne with such attention to detail. I even caught the adults playing in the sensory rice or painting a picture when they thought no one was looking! The 90 minutes flew by and such special memories were made, we will be back...
