Been a few times and will always come back. Never a bad experience, always clean and staff are approachable. Katie is so attentive to her customers and the kids needs, it's so lovely and welcoming. My three boys are 4, 2 & 1 and enjoy every visit.

What a fabulous place. Can't fault this play centre. Staff are super friendly Menu is great and allergy friendly. You can see your children from anywhere but allows free play and lots of imagination. 2 hour sessions are perfect and there special sessions for After School, SEN, school starting and they offer parties and regular events. The payment center is wheelchair accessible with parking right outside the door. 5 stars!!

We attended our booked party at I Wanna Be.. this morning with our charity, Romsey Family Support Group. Communication from the first point of contact with Katie and running up to the party was very good. We felt very welcomed from the moment we stepped in the door by both members of staff. The children had fun playing in the different areas of the village, they made a fair mess but the staff members didn't mind at all. The village was very clean which was one of the reasons we picked the place for a morning out. Parents and staff members were able to sit down and have a chat, enjoying drinks from the onsite cafe. The children were very pleased with their baskets of food, well presented and even the parents said it looked good! We were asked in advance or any allergies they need to be aware of. Thank you very much for an amazing morning, we will definitely attend again in the future!

Best role play village we've been to. Perfect venue that really feels like a village square, super clean and well maintained, and lovely professional staff. We'll come back any time we're in the area!

We were on holiday down here and looking for a morning activity for our 2 year old boy. This place was perfect. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. It's a small facility with 6 role play rooms, a small café area and toilets. Plenty for the children to do and he absolutely loved it! Cake was nice as well. Thank you!

I've just got home from our first of what will now be many many visits! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Katie with warmth and kindness. There's lots of items in each role play station. My little one is 13 months old and even though he doesn't yet understand the concept of role play, he thoroughly enjoyed playing with everything and crawling around with such curiosity and happiness. I ordered a panini which came with salad and crisps, and a chai latte... Both were delicious! It's like an extended family village inside . Thank you for a great first visit, we'll see you again soon! X

Had my daughter's fifth birthday party here. The venue is nice and the kids had a brilliant time. But have to mention the staff, who were great and made the whole thing so stress-free. Wonderful people. Thanks again!!

This is such a lovely, welcoming place. It's small enough that my shy 2 year old doesn't seem intimidated but big enough to keep them entertained. There are a good mixture of play areas, all nicely presented, and lots of space for adults (and their children) to sit and have a drink and/or food. I haven't eaten there but they have oat milk and seem to have dairy free / vegan options.
