Both of my children have had fun playing at The Secret Village over the past few years and it’s somewhere I always love to go. My nephews came to visit and stay with me for the weekend so it was a no-brainer on where to go for a fun morning out for them, and a great coffee and cake for me!
I’d say the centre is suitable from babies to around 7 or 8 years. My nephews are 7 months and 3 and my daughter who has just turned 8 came along to play with them. It was a perfect age mix and they all played together, and with me!
There are lots of little shops and areas for children to play in, with so much to do inside them all. They could go to the vets and look after the animals, make meals and drinks in the bistro, dress up and perform in the theatre and be a fireman at the fire station, to name some of them. We spent a lot of time pushing each other on the car and taking it to the garage to mend. I also kept them busy by ordering a lot of pizza and taking my poorly toy pets to the vets. Everything is very clean and all good quality – the ‘food’ is all wooden, no plastic – with so much attention to detail to make it all very realistic.
It was lovely to play with my nephews and come up with games but it was also lovely to have a coffee in peace and watch them play. You can see them at all times from your table in the cafe and I felt relaxed and safe that they were nearby. I am a complete coffee snob and I’m very fussy about the coffee I drink but this was very good, the cakes and tea cakes I got for the kids were great too.
So overall another big thumbs up for The Secret Village, both from me and from my 3 year old nephew – he face timed me this week to ask when can he come and stay with Aunty Rachael again and when can I take him back to the Secret Village!
