Amanda says: we love this place. very friendly & they always remember my
daughter's name when we go in.
my daughter loves the free lollipop when she leaves (even though she hates
leaving!). we had her party there this year and we'll be doing it again next
year as it was such a success!
a huge thumbs up from us!
happy hours is nothing to do with the other nearby play area called happy dayz
(despite the similar name!) which i've heard lots of negative comments about
from neighbours who've been there.

Been to Happy Hours many times, went today again, it's a lovely place for my
21mnth old son to play in. Has a warm and friendly atmosphere, is nice and small
so no searching everywhere for your child.Sells
food and drinks for yourself and children at very reasonable prices. They need
more people going so get yourself down there! You wont be disappointed.

FANTASTIC PLACE!!!!
Me and my two girls (and their friends) love this place. It's very clean and
friendly and the equipment is in very good condition unlike some we've been to.
We're even having a birthday party here this year. The great thing about the
parties is that you can self cater or use the lovely catering and it's very
reasonable - plus you get the WHOLE place to yourself as parties are held after
hours (5:15pm to 6:45pm).
Another plus - there's no loud head banging music.
The pictures on the website are very realistic too - check out the site and even
better check out the place. Your kids will love it...
March 2006I see that you already have
Happy Hours on your list of soft play areas but i wanted to let you know that
they now have a website: www.happyhours.org.uk and it's £2 per hour. I've been
there numerous times with my toddler and it's a really friendly family run play
area. They also do snacks which is handy and well priced. It's not very big but
that's what I like about it because I can always see what my daughter is doing -
not like in some of the big play areas.
This final one was posted recently following
the closure of Grandma's, another play area in the district:-
We went on Saturday (27th Oct 2007) to find
the place (GRANDMA'S) in
darkness and the closed signs on the doors. I had to ask in the shop next door
about it who told me that it had closed down!
Thankfully Happy Hours, Queens Drive was open and
able to accommodate me, two other adults and three children - plus feed and
water us- at a very reasonable price!!
We are a smaller sized, family run,
Children's Indoor Activity Centre. We opened in 1996 and have a first
class safety record, in no small part due to the meticulous
planning and construction of our play area.
Wecomply fully with the recommendations
outlined in:-
'Safety in Indoor Adventure Play Areas -A
Code of Practice'
This is a joint publication by
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, The Institute of Leisure &
Amenity Management and The National Playing Fields Association.
These guidelines were agreed
following some lengthy deliberations by a working group established by those
parties, following major concerns over high numbers of avoidable
accidents occurring in play areas in the 1990's.
Following the construction of
the play area
and prior to our opening, we selected,
as the
independent examiner
to conduct our post installation inspection, the author of those
guidelines, who had no hesitation in confirming that the play area complied with
the guidance.
You may well not be aware, that not all
such establishments follow the guidelines, as they are not mandatory, but merely
a guide to 'good practice'. If you are unsure about safety in a play area,
then request sight of their post-installation inspection.
If they
decline, then:- be
wary!!!!!!!!!!
Our aim is to provide a
safe and
child-friendly environment for
children between the ages of 9 months and 8 years, to play and more
importantly learn some basic
interpersonal skills, mixing with other children. The use of
such facilities also improves their
self-confidence.
Big enough to Cope, Small
enough to Care.
We are open for normal
business between the hours indicated at the top of these pages mainly catering
for the needs of younger children under 6 years of age. The vast majority
ofchildren who frequent the play area
are under school age and most find it so
enjoyable that they return again and again. However, we still have
long-standing customers who return regularly until their 9th birthday.
We
know that a few of them have even sneaked in after then.
We supply snacks & hot and cold drinks during
opening hours. A sample of our prices for refreshments are shown elsewhere
on this site. Please click on appropriate link to the left of the page.
