The Play Space

If you’ve got a toddler or a kid under seven in the Pontyclun area, this place is genuinely worth knowing about. It’s family-run, and you can tell — the staff are actually friendly rather than just going through the motions, and the place is kept properly clean, which isn’t something you can say about every soft play in the area. The playframe keeps kids busy while parents can actually sit down and eat something decent from the café without constantly losing sight of their little ones. Fully enclosed, good visibility, loos and baby changing on site — it ticks all the practical boxes too. They do birthday parties here as well, so file that one away for when the time comes.
