World of Wonder Playtime

Designed by local mums who clearly knew what they were doing, this role-play village in Runcorn is one of those soft play spots that actually gets the under-5s right. The setup is genuinely well thought out — dedicated space for little ones, decent decor, and kept properly clean rather than that sticky-floor situation you get elsewhere. Staff are the kind who engage with the kids rather than just standing around, which makes a real difference. It’s a solid birthday party venue too, with parking on-site and restrooms that aren’t a horror show.
