I hadn't visited this play centre for over a year. Back then, when it was new, they took care to keep the place clean. Now, it's a completely different story. We arrived at 1030, and the table we sat at was absolutely disgusting. I doubt very much that it had been wiped clean since the day before (or earlier). It was so sticky my bag stuck to the table. Given the place opens at 930, and there were only approx 30 other visitors when we arrived (and an abundance of empty tables) I doubt very much anyone would have had time to spill enough food/drink all over a 12 person table before we arrived.

On to the play equipment. Since my visit a year ago there has been a very shoddy approach to the maintenance of the equipment. Where rips/tears have occurred they have been haphazardly "patched" instead of fixed properly or replaced. In several areas the padding is ripped, missing, or patched with sup par padding and held in place with tie wrap. They are also using one area underneath the slide as a dumping ground for boxes and spare replacement parts, but haven't secured it properly as my son still found his way in there to retrieve a wayward ball.

The areas underneath and at the sides/back of the play structures have had no attention for god knows how long. There are layers of dust, forgotten socks and even food scraps. It is absolutely disgusting. When I queried the manager about how often they clean the place, she told me weekly. She said the cleaners the Sunday before were unable to do a thorough job because there were too many kids around. Ummm... how about cleaning after hours then? The amount of dirt and grime was clearly not the product of a week's worth of use though, I have serious doubts about whether the areas under/behind the structures have been touched in the last few months, or probably longer. Certainly not since the last reviewer (10th July) so it's disappointing for a manager outright lie as opposed to accepting responsibility and being accountable. They also need to drop the "new" tag, this place is no longer new, and because the maintenance is so poor it looks far more tired than it should after only a year and half.
