Fantastic new soft play place in Fulham...

[CountessDracula]

I am online there!

www.gambado.com

They have trampolines, a merry go round, bumper cars and a superb climbing frame. Only just opened so pretty empty, I can imagine it will get v busy.

They have free internet access too....

ooh very nifty for Stamford Bridge - thanks for that

[mommie]

whereabouts is it...and is it open over bank holiday? could be answer to my prayers. is it good for a fairly timid 19 month old?

[lanismum]

that looks great, cheers for that, might take mt 14 month old!

[Ledodgyherring]

Omg no way a place where you can dump your kids and free internet access! Tell them to build one in Liverpool Fast!

[CountessDracula]

Yes fine for 19 month old they have a special bit for little ones and you can take them on the merry go round/cars

you can't exactly dump them but the staff are amazingly helpful and keep and eye all the time

[spidermama]

This confirms my observations. There is a whole new generation of soft play areas opening up. This one sounds amazing CD.

[carefree]

I didn't think it was open yet?

[mysonsmummy]

whereabouts in fulham is it. we are going there tuesday so might try to find it? thanks

[carefree]

Just looked online. Hubby will be dropping the kids and I off then off to Chelsea not sure if this is good. Actually traffic is murder round there on matchdays. Think i'll stick to It's a kids thing! until mine are bigger. The food is great and I've never come across better staff anywhere.

Behind the Jurys Inn Hotel, past the Harbour Club. Bit soulless round there.It looks massive. Better for bigger kids i would say. Will give it a go when the older neices and nephews visit.

what's It's a Kid's Thing?

[Earlybird]

foxinsocks - bumped the previous soft play thread into active convos for you. It speaks of Its A Kids Thing in Earlsfield....

Someday, I will learn to links.....

[foxinsocks]

oh thanks earlybird!

[CountessDracula]

dd is 3.8 and fairly tentative and it was perfect for her if that helps

It is right by the Townmead Rd/Imperial Rd junction at the back entrance to Chelsea Harbour

It opened today (a mate of mine called me and harangued me into going with her!)

[unicorn]

looks good CD.. (someone let mumsnet towers know and get free yearly membership as comp prize?)

looks like a possible meetup destination?

[foxinsocks]

is it alright for bigger kids (like 6 yr olds) cd?

[CountessDracula]

Yes fine I would say. They can go on the bumper cars on their own aged 5+ so they would enjoy that. there are 4 or 5 trampolines all very safely done too

[Twiglett]

were you in the one in beckenham .. I love it there

[Twiglett]

doh! no you were in fulham

[foxinsocks]

bumper cars sound great - did you take the car and park ok there cd?

it's a kid's thing doesn't give what age it is suitable for - is it more of a little kiddlies place?

[carefree]

"It's a kids thing" is in Earlsfield, Magdalen Rd round corner from station. To be honest its ideal for the under 5's. The reason I love it is because you can book a table with your friends up to 7 days in advance, they never over crowd it, once the tables are full thats it. The food is excellent and some of their in house activities are great (no extra charge). They won the LBC radio living London award last year. Twenty of us went last month we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. I don't know how far you live but its worth a visit now and again especially if there is a group of you. www.itsakidsthing.co.uk. Might see you there i'm there every Tuesday for Funky Feet. Thats my little one not me! I just drink latte's.

Thanks. Its a kids thing! goes up to 7. But i think its more geared for the 5 and unders. Mines 3 so its perfect you always know where they are, so you're not up and down every 5 minutes. My nephews and neices are going to love this Gambado. I hope they don't over crowd it.
