Hocus Pocus Play near Fairford is perfect for babies, toddlers and youngsters. It’s really quite unique, with a mixture of soft play, sensory experiences and imaginative play.
Hocus Pocus is not overwhelmingly large like some of the big soft play centres, so as a parent you’re able to easily relax and allow your little one some independence to explore. They also run a a quiet session on a Thursday afternoon with a reduced capacity which is very popular with SEN families.
The wooden castle is a definite highlight with tunnels to climb through, steps up to a landing where you can feed balls down tubes and a cool slide which has padded rollers to descend. My son particularly liked the door bell. There’s also a light up sensory tube, mini trampoline and padded floors.
The edges of the wooden imaginative play castle are all smoothed off and I liked the fact that the whole creation wasn’t padded soft play allowing the chance to be safe but also know your limitations.
There’s lots of opportunity for role play, quality wooden toys, puzzles and activities too.
Food from the Magic Beans Cafe is available in the play area, with plenty of seating for adults and children. Hot food, including all day breakfasts and daily specials, is available daily until 14:30 with drinks and cakes until close..
With teepees, a sandpit, beautiful blooms and ice cream, you can also extend your visit to Hocus Pocus Play and relax in the cafe garden before or after your play session.
Customer service at the Hocus Pocus Play and the Magic Beans cafe was excellent. I was greeted with a huge smile and nothing was too much trouble.
I’d highly recommend a visit with your little one.
