Welcome

Land of Make Believe is a Children's Role Play Centre.  We cater for children from birth to age 7 and our play areas have been lovingly created to awaken the imagination of our little people.

 

We also look after the grown ups too, by providing a fabulous cafe area, from where you can watch your children play, have a spot of lunch or a delicious cake.

 

Alongside our play areas we also run various activities including music and dance, baby massage, growing gurus,  and story time.

 

We provide exclusive use parties and sessions for schools and nurseries.
