Freddy & Friends

Decent little soft play in Derby that does the job well for the under-10s crowd. The climbing structure and slides keep kids busy, and the separate areas for babies and older ones means nobody’s getting trampled. Staff are genuinely friendly here — you can tell they actually like kids, which isn’t always a given. Entry prices are fair, and table service for food and drinks is a proper bonus when you don’t want to lose your seat. It’s showing its age in places and could do with some freshening up, but for a rainy day with little ones, you could do a lot worse.
