Stay and Play

Laura Lloyd

Such a beautiful very clean calming environment 
Never seen my son so happy , he loved exploring all the areas. We will defo be back although I think the slot would be better to be 90mins so get time to sit in cafe area have a snack n drink.  Has my boy 13months wasn’t ready to leave after a hour.  

Rebecca Langley

My little boy had a great time at Sugar snap play and can’t wait to go back! There was plenty of space and not over subscribed to avoid the kids being on top of each other! There was plenty of different areas to explore with great quality toys and books. We’ll definitely be back soon! 

Evie Hempstock-Cox

Really enjoyed our first time at Sugar Snap and will definitely be going back! The area is lovely and clean and has a separate baby section that's gated off so you don't have to worry about your little one getting troden on in the chaos! The owner was so friendly and lovely and checked it on us, it has a lovely little cafe with bits for little ones as well and just had a nice, homey feel to it. Definitely five stars 🩷

Chelsea Wiley

Absolutely loved bringing my little girl yesterday. There’s so much to do and kept her busy the whole time we were there. Beautiful sensory room with lots of intriguing sensory toys for little hands.  Lovely wooden toys and little ride alongs with lots of space to play. Really unique! Will definitely be taking my little one back for more visits ❤️

Julie Steade

Lovely play area in calm surroundings where younger children can play and explore.  Staff lovely.

Shannen Plowright

Absolutely brilliant,  I took my 5 month old little girl and her face lit up, the sensory room is amazing ! I even got the chance to weight her on the weighing scales provided ☺️ o will definitely will be returning and I’ve already started to tell people how incredible it is x

Joanna Austin 

We had such a lovely time at sugar snap play! We will be returning week after week I’m sure! 💖

Charlotte Brown

Beautiful play area. Clean, tidy and well-kept. Up to date toys and educational. Happy smiles on arrival, and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Jack Winfield

Great new place, my 2 year old didn’t want to leave 

Quinn Rodda

Lovely space, really clean, well thought out, lovely selection of toys and spaces for the kids to use. 
My only suggestion would be that it would be nice if the sessions were 90 mins instead of an hour, it seems to go very quickly and, especially with 2 kids, the cost seems quite high for an hour
Really lovely space though 

Hannah  Easom

Loved our first visit to sugar snap play, Daisy (10 weeks old) and I really enjoyed the sensory room, such a lovely relaxing space.  We will definitely be returning for another play date. 

Eve Kerry

Lovely space, lovely owner. There is SO much to do for my nearly 2 year old, any chance we could book longer slots? 
We will definitely be regulars!

Olivia  Pretty

Lovely area to play in, everything is so clean and new! The sensory room is brilliant & there is lots of role play items for toddlers & a little soft play area and book area. Lovely place to go for a morning or afternoon and the lady who runs it is lovely too 

Mel Mason

Lovely montessori environment for our children to develop and have fun. The baby and sensory rooms are beautiful.  The owner has really done an amazing job. 

Kelly  Claydon

One of the best sensory rooms I’ve been to! Every area was so clean and tidy, so aesthetically pleasing! There were so many options of toys and sensory items for my daughter to explore. She gets very overwhelmed in small and busy places so this spot was perfect for her! Will definitely be making this a regular visit! 🤍

Ellie Burlaga 

Such a lovely play space for little ones. So much variety and it all felt like a calming place to be. My son really liked the sensory room! Great tea and snacks too. We will definitely be making this a regular place to play! 

Kami Allison 

Lots of toys to enjoy, a nice big space and very fun. My little one loved it and wanted to stay for longer and now he can't wait to come back. 

Karen Hopkins

Great place could ask to leave prams outside and a breakfast bar would take up less room when trying to have a coffee but overall excellent will defo return and tell everyone about it

Tracy Shotbolt

My grandson loved it, such a beautiful set up and so much variety for children of all ages  to play with. We will definitely be returning 😍

Jessica Horigan 

Lovely playgroup with gorgeous toys and great sensory room. My little girl loved it and didn't want to leave. 

Laura Crookes

Lovely environment for little ones. Perfext safe enclosure for babies too. Beautiful toys and reading corner. We’ll definitely be back .

Kelly Greaves

Brilliant play area, good for all ages. It’s good that babies are separated from the toddlers/ older ones and the sensory room is fantastic. We will def be back next week  

Ryan Ruci 

Danielle Lynam

LOVE IT HERE! It’s so clean. The toys are great for a toddler. There’s everything you can imagine. My little one didn’t know where to run first 🙈 just wished we could have stayed longer x

George Newman

My daughter had a lovely time playing here and didn't want to leave, lots of activities for children to play with and very clean with plenty of space. We will definitely be back.

Terri WrightWright

Brilliant clean lively new place. Staff were wonderful. I have a 2 year old so 1 hour play bit short for them. I think the price should match and time similar to tiny town. Other wise I don’t think it would be worth returning for me. 

Shereen Bellamy

Beautiful little play group, love the lay out, toys & cafe!

Adele Johnson

This playgroup is by far the best we’ve ever been to. It’s so clean, educational and the attention to detail is amazing. The staff are so lovely and make time to speak to you and the children. The only issue I had was that we wanted longer to play! (Although now the sessions have been extended it’s perfect!) We will be attending this playgroup whenever we are able. I cannot recommend it enough. 

Ginny Buck 

Really lovely way to spend a morning, a super clean, happy and well decorated space with lovely wooden toys, soft play, reading zone and plenty of sensory and creative activities to explore. We had so much fun! Very lucky to have you near by.  We’ll be back! Thank you  

Bethany Taylor

Lovely space, clean and calm. Not overcrowded. Felt very comfortable with my 2 month old, lots to do for babies and toddlers. Sensory room was great. Baby room was lovely with different toys and different areas. Only improvement for me would be if one of the chairs in the baby room weren't facing out into the main room as would just provide a bit of extra privacy for those of us who are still getting comfortable with breastfeeding in public.  Will definitely be returning and would recommend. 

Rebecca South

Amazing! Very clean space! Perfect sensory activities for my nearly 5 month old! Will definitely be returning

Paige Broome

Amazing set up , really pleased with it and my little one loved it , also her two little friends did too ! Definitely worth the price .

Laura Hawkins

Great addition to Chesterfield. Lovely venue & great staff. 
It’s so nice to have somewhere for babies with clean environment and baby sensory toys. The dark area was so good with all the light up toys and then there’s a separate tiny baby area. 
We will definitely be going back 

Amy Lemm

Loved this play centre! It's so rare to find somewhere that is perfect for babies; but my 6 month old enjoyed the full hour! So many toys perfect for his age and the sensory room was brilliant! 

Megan Carson

Lovely new place for chesterfield. Really clean and friendly owner, looking forward to visiting more 

Heidi Illingworth 

What a lovely venue! We were made to feel so welcome and there’s plenty to explore with the little ones. We particularly liked the light room. 
My only additional feedback would be for the cafe staff to know how to use the Tommee Tippee prep machine as the milk wasn’t mixed properly when handed back to me. 

Alex Mooney

My little one loved it here there is so much to explore especially the sensory room it's truly amazing 

Lotte Hamshar

First impression was of a bright, clean and very inviting place. It really is . The area is spacious and beautifully laid out with plenty of space for the children to explore the toys and different things laid out for them to experience in their own time and their own way. There was plenty of role play toys and craft tables and the sensory room was gorgeous. Our granddaughter had a wonderful time and we will definitely recommend this place to others and we will most certainly come back and play!

Tracey Symonds

Been to Sugar Snap a couple of times now, it's wonderful! My grandson is 14m and most play centres are too boisterous and physically difficult for him but sugar snap is a whole other world! everything is beautifully thought out and he can access everything. The activity tables have encouraged him to stand to play and he loves the sensory room. it never feels cramped and he can always get a 'turn' on the cars etc. It's much more of a well thought out nursey setting than the usual play centres, and the activities change each week so there's something to interest him.  Can't recommend this place highly enough, it's absolutely the best!  

Joelle Cory-Heafield

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Caters for everybody. Love the variety. My little girl is obsessed with coming here! Thankyou!

Laura Tyler

Lovely place, been twice now! I have twins & Alysha is always there to help me carry the babies where I want to go! The light sensory room is their favourite (I think) always have the best time! 

Jessica Lea

Our first time at Sugar Snap Play and we will certainly be back. The sensory room is fantastic and everything is very clean!
Alysha was super polite and accommodating.
Thank you for having us!

Jodie Sild

We had an absolutely amazing first visit. My 13 month old absolutely loved it. The sensory room was his favourite place, he loved all the lights, the table and the soft toys. Everywhere was lovely and clean. We don't often go places with a crawler and he comes out clean! 

Lisa  Pateman 

My grandaughters first words when we walked in were WOW . It is WOW 🤩. Lots of different areas to allow the imagination to step in and enjoy . Lovely and bright clean and plenty of room to move about freely . Can’t wait to take her again 💕

Andrea  Meeson

Lovely atmosphere here. We felt very welcome, keep doing what you are doing♡

Amy Morfitt

Beautiful play centre, this was our first time and we'll definitely be back. What an amazing range of toys and activities. My nearly 9 month old loved the sensory light room. The amount of children attending was perfect too so it wasn't too busy and plenty to share.

 I will be back at work soon and was struggling for activities for the afternoon and the later play sessions will be perfect.

Staff were friendly, and though I didn't buy a drink, I looked at the menue and the prices were very reasonable. 



Carol  Northard 

Hi alysha  and the sugar snap play team. 

I would like to praise you on the success of this wonderful soft play/ area for babies of all agers and the magical sensory room. 
I would like to thank Alysha for letting us book in for me, my friend and our babies when the group was sold out, she acted on this very quickly and professionally. 
She took time in talking to us and our babies and made us feel so welcome. 
The Montessori inspired setting is just perfect, each area has a purpose and flows beautifully! It’s clean, comfortable, Morden and perfect for mums and babies to get together. 
The sensory room was perfect for our babies perfectly laid out and the beautiful rug and soft furnishings, and the attention to details, they both loved it so much, and overall fantastic experience and will be back. 
Both babies was asleep on way home :) in no time. 

Thank you we will be back very soon xxx

Stacy Haslam

Lovely setting, friendly staff ❤️will be back x

Dexter siddall

Very clean place, plenty to do for the kids, staff all friendly and engaging with the kids. Food and drink all reasonably priced will visit again. Thank you 

Gemma  Hancock 

Sugar snaps- what a wonderful idea! Why is there nothing else like this around...
A special play space dedicated to babies and younger children, up to 5, unlike other play areas this takes the worry out of bigger children running around etc, as even in the 'baby sections' they are often not monitored, so sugar snaps takes this stress away.

It is brand new, and lovely and clean, my little boy loves the sensory room... 

We went on a weekend and I know it was a trial, but being open on a weekend would be great for parents that work during the week...

We have already booked to come again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sophie Ashman

Very impressed! The whole set up is beautiful, very modern and clean and plenty of educational and Montessori toys to choose from. The sensory room is beautifully spacious and very comfortable. Although my little boy is too old for the baby room, a very quick peek showed it was utterly gorgeous, lots of black and white resources and soft play mats. The cafe area is pretty small, and no tables free, but as we weren’t using this area it was no issue. The toilets are spotless and everything is so clean in general. Makes such a change to usual soft plays / stay and plays. We will 1000% be back. The owner was lovely too, making time to chat to everyone. A great addition! 

Jennifer  Henson

Absolutely beautiful play centre. Amazing toys, books, sensory room - every thing you could want. We took a 3 month and 8 month old and they were thoroughly engaged for the full session. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, can't wait to go back! 

Sophie Holmes

Brilliant space for 14 month old to discover and play. Will definitely be going back. 

Natalie Gould

Absolutely fantastic place to take your baby/toddler. I attended with friends and our babies who are all under 1  and we all left saying how brilliant our session was.  You can see that there has been so much thought and effort gone into each of the activities on offer and everything was so clean and inviting.  We will definitely be booking to go back. We all especially loved the sensory room! 

Theo Bilbe

Lovely environment, play items of highest quality. 
Friendly and engaging staff.
Would highly recommend xx

Jessica  Lawless

Visited Sugar snap play for the first time.
What a beautifully thought out venue!!
We absolutely loved it.
Everything is extremely clean and clearly a lot of thought is gone into the play zones.
The baby room looked amazing also- wish my babies were tiny again to use it Hee Hee!
The sensory room is just soooo relaxing! 

We will be back!! 

Thank you!! 

Jane Harper

Beautiful environment, lovely staff. We will be back

Abbie Canning

My little girl had the best time here! Our session was very calm and nice and warm. The senory room is just incredible! 

Jane Morgan

Me and my friend met and had a lovely time, me with my 2 year old granddaughter & her with her 1 year old son. Friendly staff and a lovely place for the children to play. All areas were great. Lots of toys, dressing up, a craft table and a wonderful sensory room. Will definitely visit again.

Our 2nd visit to sugar snap play was at least as good as the first! My granddaughter had a wonderful time playing with all the lovely toys available She loves the sensory room and especially the little “sea creatures “ in the light tube. She was also very busy making ice cream out of play doh and loves the slide and the soft sit on toys. We have just recommended this lovely place to two of our friends and we will be back very soon.

Aurelia  Robinson

From the moment I walked in with my two little ones I knew that we were somewhere special! It’s a beautiful decorated and presented venue, light, bright and clean. There was a fantastic selection of toys for babies and children, and the sensory room in particular is amazing! I could have spent the whole visit in there, it was so relaxing, but my busy bees were having a fantastic time exploring and there was so much for them to see and do. Already planning our next visit!

Sonya Maggs

Had a fantastic time with my granddaughter! Lots for her to explore and learn whilst playing in a safe, clean, friendly and welcoming environmeht Just perfect ! Will be visiting again very soon.

Jacky  Baxter 

Lovely clean and spacious softplay for all ages and ideal for groups to meet up with baby’s  

April Lane

First time visiting sugar snap play and my 10 month old loved it 

Rose Redmond

Got 5month old and 12 month old both really enjoyed. Very clean and accommodating. Staff lovely and friendly 

Sarahjane Bamford

Really impressed. My 3 year old and 7 month old loved it. There has clearly been a lot of thought put into the layout and activities. The 'under the sea' room is certainly my favourite 😊

Looking forward to the Hallowene party and plan on booking a Christmas slot before they all go. 5 stars well deserved! 

Bobby Briggs

Bobby loved his time at Sugar Snap especially relaxing in the sensory room. 

Laura  Revell

Lovely & friendly place, lots of toys to play with. My daughter loved her first time yesterday!

Diane  Saxton 

Great place to send an hour with your little one me and my 9 month old grandson had a lovely time. He really like the light room 

Ann Gregory

Clean play space for little ones with very good quality equipment. Separate gated room for the very little ones and a sensory room next to it. Small cafe area with sitting area. They could do with a toaster so that they can offer toasted tea cakes or plain toast alongside the traybake cakes with their hot drinks. There is a choice of child friendly snacks. I will be booking again as my granddaughter aged just over 2 years loved it.

Chelsie Wood

It’s so lovely! I’ve been a few times now and it’s just brilliant. It’s spacious, set out well and I’m going twice this week. I took my husband with our son on Tuesday and he said how good it was and I’m meeting some friends on Thursday with our little ones. My son enjoys it and he always has a nap afterwards. Always has the best time!! Xx

Kirsty  Burdett

A lovely little play space. Everything has been really well thought out and planned and my little boy had a lovely morning there. Have already recommended to a couple of friends and will be back again soon 

Emily Reid

Lovely little play area in a gorgeous new setting in chesterfield! The lady (I assume is the owner) was so lovely and welcoming, encouraging us to stay and finish our drinks even though it was tidy up time. Will be back, especially for sensory room 

Laura Elliott

Loved it here! So warm and welcoming. Such a nice bright airy clean space. All the different play zones are fabulous. Will definitely be visiting lots more in the near future 

Rosie Newton

Our baby absolutely loved his time at Sugar Snap Play, everything felt so calm and perfectly coordinated. We’ve already booked to go back. Highly recommend  visit with your little one - the sensory room is second to none! 

Beth Gensmantel

Lovely play space for my 2.5 year old. very clean and well presented. 
My daughter loved the soft play shapes, ball pit, slide and bouncy cows. Will be back soon xx 

Claire Armstrong

Absolutely fantastic place to take your babies and toddlers. Beautifully clean and welcoming, we can’t wait to go again

Vicky Thompson

I took my 20 month old to Sugar Snap and it is all so perfect and accessible for his age. The owner is so welcoming. Everything is clean and there are so many activities to choose from. The cafe for coffee and cake was great for mummy to have a treat too! I’ll definitely be returning! 

Jade Wilson

Fantastic place, very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be visiting again. 

Another lovely session playing at the lovely Sugar Snap Play. Our granddaughter is getting used to playing with other little people her own age and this is such a lovely setting for doing this. She particularly likes the slide and all the lovely squishy sit on toys. She loves the market stalls and the sensory room. In fact she just has a wonderful time whenever she comes to play.

Jayne  Backhouse

Me and my Grandson have visited twice now. As a grandparent that has mobility issues I find sugar snap a fantastic place to go. There is a lift to the first floor.  I can't take him to other soft play as I can't chace or climb to help him.  This place is a real credit to the owner. I can supervise him playing as its on one level. Staff get involved and interact with the children that attend. They have a cafe to purchase drinks and snacks. This week was a crafting table, books, dress up, role play, sand, reading area . The sensory room is spectacular.  We will see you again soon. The value for money is incredible.  He loves the activities of which there are plenty.  Keep up the good work 

Brooke Harrison

Lovely play centre, the owner was so friendly and checks in on everyone she even held my baby for me while I took my shoes off! My 9 week old really enjoyed the baby room & sensory room. He even fell asleep so I could sample a coffee which was lovely. We have already booked to return! 

Danielle Turner

Gorgeous little area, really well thought out. Nice and clean. Lovely coffee too ☺️
We will be visiting again x

Louise Thomas

We came yesterday for the first time with our 6 month old , really lovely areas to play and will defiantly return soon 🩵

Elaine Wood

Amazing venue, so many lovely things to do for children of all ages. The separate room for babies is brilliant. Everything was spotless and the staff were so friendly and helpful

Ellie Bates

Cannot fault Sugar Snap, lovely place and people😊

Ralphie Woolley

Lovely,  welcoming play area.  Very spacious, well laid out rooms.  My grandson and I really enjoyed our time there, it went so fast.  See you soon. 

Amy Groves

Such a lovely place! Clean, calm, not overly stimulating and just a all round lovely experience for baby and myself ❤️

Stanley Miskell

Lovely bright and airy play space! Plenty of activities to occupy my 4 and 2 year olds, my eldest particularly loved the playdoh activity. We can’t wait to visit again! 

Lucy Scothern

Me and Theo have been here a couple of times and love it!! Feels so comfortable, cosy and friendly!! 

Charlotte  Matkin 

Tia Chapman-Metham

The most warm and welcoming play cafe I've visited for a long time. Big and bright spacious place, so much for children to explore. I was really impressed with all the baby items to engage, explore,, play and show babies. Usually baby rooms are bit empty compared to the older rooms but definitely not here. The variety of items is amazing. 

Will be a place I will keep bring my 7 month old to as he grows as cannot recommend it enough. 

Thank you!

Sian taylor

Came here for the first time and absolutely loved it!! My 2 year old had the best time playing with all the beautiful toys and dressing up. We will definitely be back! :) 

We came back again today, as we now have made a visit to Sugar Snap play part of our weekly routine as Silvie enjoys it so much!
It was great fun today as Silvie just loves pumpkins ! She was enjoying herself so much playing with the pumpkins, weighing them, rolling them, sharing them out!
And she loved the new kitchen sink too. 
Huge fan of the play doh too and really channeled her inner Picasso !! 
She had a fantastic morning- never a dull moment in this lovely place.

Harry Pinnell 

Lovely play centre! Great for babies and toddlers.

Liv Farrington

Such a lovely place with multi-use/themed areas for your little ones to enjoy and learn! Would highly recommend! x

Susan  Richards

My grandchildren enjoyed a fabulous play experience at Sugar Snap. A clean, well considered and equipped environment. Provides separate open space for babies, toddlers and pre-school children to explore through play freely. Small cafe experience caters for grown ups too. Lovely place. I've booked  again. Thank you. 

Lochlan Marsden Davison 

I loved spending time here with my 11 month old, he was really enjoying exploring all of the different rooms and exciting stations. The sensory room is amazing, relaxing and all round a nice experience. Everything was so clean and its obvious how much time and effort has been put into this place. Alysha is so lovely and made effort to speak to everyone, interact with the babies and made us feel really welcome. 

We absolutely loved the autumn station as it was to cold and wet to visit a pumpkin patch this week coming here was perfect, also to get some lovely pictures! Everything is so very well thought out and has lots of educational play opportunities💗 I have recommended this place to everyone, it is absolutely 10/10!!! 
Thank you so much, we will be back very soon!  Xxx 

Danielle Chance

Staff are lovely and are very welcoming. There is a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of lovely activities set up to keep the little ones entertained

Jade Jackson

We really enjoyed our time at the stay and play. My one and three year old were engaged the whole time. A calm and relaxed environment made it a lovely place to be.
