Many reviews emphasize the cheerful ambiance of Little Seedlings. A visitor named Roy Martin shared, "It can be noisy but it's for the kids to have fun in," capturing the essence of this lively play-centre.

As part of Anker wood it works quite well it's clean an well presented however it is very small an not really suitable for kids over 5 yrs old also outside looks really run down and mazes need attention and renovation could have alot of potential to make alot more money if was set out slightly differently and outside was up kept more still a good few hours out with smaller kids, but food took an hour to come to the table by which time my 3 year old was very hungry so service could be a bit faster

Needs a little updating, the baby area is a little tatty and never enough staff at peak times so ques are long.

Food can be a bit restricted but then it's only meant for snacks. It can be noisy but it's for the kid's to have fun in. The staff are only doing there job. And have a lot to cope with. We found the atmosphere to be quiet got , It's what you make it smile and be happy.

Great for entertaining the kids for a few hours. The soft play is perfect for babies, toddlers and younger children. It's nice to have the cafe, the option of a huge outdoor space although that costs extra and to do some shopping in the garden centre.

Good soft play centre but a little on the small side. Best suited for younger children. Great for parents to sit down and have a coffee.

Could be bigger and more, but because it's not in a City Centre let's say so can't complain. It's fun for kids to play at and parents to have a Cup of Coffee or other Drink.

Suitable soft play for kids under 5. My 6 year old still enjoyed it but has definitely outgrown it.
