The Dojo Soft Play & Coffee Shop

Fantastic experience: Such a lovely place to meet and have coffee and play, the soft play is perfect for little ones and the food is really good!

Fantastic experience: I’ve visited a couple of times now and we have loved it every time! Super clean soft play, which is steam cleaned after each session! Such a lovely open space with a good amount of toys and equipment to keep the little ones entertained! It’s a great place to catch up with friends while little ones explore! In terms of the cafe - great choices and all very tasty, both myself and little one and are dairy free but there are still yummy options for us both! Highly recommend visiting especially with bubbas that are crawling!

Fantastic experience: Great value, large safe space, loads of suitable toys and a delicious cafe. I will definitely visit again. My 10 month old absolutely loved it!

Fantastic experience: Really great space, can relax with a coffee but still see the kids at all times. Food was great too and staff very super friendly. My 2.5 year old loved it! Will deffo be back :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing, very clean and 10/10 customer service. Children had so much fun. Coffee and food taste delicious. Free parking just opposite helps when you have children. Cannot recommend this place enough! If you haven’t check it out.

Fantastic experience: My two and a half year old grandson loves Dojo soft play and I really enjoy taking him. It's perfect for toddlers who want to run around and have fun and play alongside other young children. The staff are lovely and the adjoining cafe is perfect for refreshments which can be enjoyed on seating in the play area. It's a great place to bring your baby or toddler and I would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Our first time visiting, greeted to a warm friendly atmosphere. Everyone was so welcoming. I’m very pleased we stopped in and my daughter loved the soft play area. Super clean and looked after. It’s very safe for all ages. The soft play is open 9.30-12.30 for £7. We will 100% be returning. Very good pricing, free parking opposite. I’d 100% recommend to all other parents.

Fantastic experience: I took my daughter to Dojo Softplay this morning and we really enjoyed it. The space is clean, well-maintained, and offers a great range of activities and equipment. Although the website says it’s suitable for ages 1+, I brought my 9-month-old and it was absolutely fine. There’s plenty of parking, the café is lovely, and the staff were so friendly and helpful — you can tell they really care about the place. What really stood out to me was that as we were leaving, the staff were already thoroughly cleaning all the toys and play areas. I’ve never seen that level of care at other softplays. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great judo club for kids! The coaches are friendly and professional, and the soft play area is a lovely bonus for younger siblings. Perfect for active families!

Fantastic experience: Came here for a fantastic facial and reflexology session. It is quiet, very zen feel to it. The coffee is good and there's a good choice of drinks offered.

Fantastic experience: We had our girls 3rd birthday Party at The Dojo Cafe & Softplay. The kids had a lovely time and the set up worked well with the kids having snacks and grown ups able to purchase coffee etc The venue is clean and great for kids wanting to run and tumble around. 2hrs was the perfect amount of time for the kids to play with the 1hr before and 1hr after for setting up and cleaning up afterwards. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of having a little ones party or just attending a session!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place and really friendly staff - had a really nice coffee too!

Fantastic experience: Great judo club

Fantastic experience: Very clean and great coffee. Staff are super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great place to visit, friendly staff, tasty coffee and lovely environment for the little ones would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Lovely place, very welcoming and helpful, friendly staff especially one lady called Laura lovely cakes and coffee , my little boy who’s Autistic and some times struggles in places really enjoyed him self , and saw many dog walkers pop in for a coffee, will defo come bk xx

Fantastic experience: We had my daughter’s 1st birthday party here and she had a great time. We had children of all different ages and they all enjoyed it! Lots of space, nice and clean and the elder kids really loved the sumo suits! Laura was extremely helpful with helping me to set the food out on the day and make sure everything was ready and set up on time :) would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: My son had an amazing 1st birthday party at Dojo Cafe! The staff were so helpful and accommodating, everyone said what a great time they had! Would definitely recommend x

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and lovely welcoming family environment

Fantastic experience: A hidden gem! Perfect for little ones, plenty of fun things for them to play with and no boisterous older children as it's for 4 and under. Super clean, and the cafe is gorgeous. A wonderful place

Fantastic experience: Such a fantastic space, we visited for the first time this morning and I couldn't fault the place, it's great knowing your 17 month old can run around safely in the most clean environment, fully padded, lots of activities and refreshments, Laura makes the most amazing coffee. The setting is the cutest and plenty of parking

Fantastic experience: Really lovely, clean, open space. There isn’t tons of equipment cluttering the space, there is some soft subtle music on so it’s not overwhelming, and my two year was so happy just having so much space to run and jump about. A much nicer alternative to big noisy soft plays! Cafe was great too and the lady working there was really lovely. We’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: I visited for the first time today, with my 21month old grandson. My daughter had recommended Dojo Soft Play to me. It was brilliant, easy parking, lovely friendly welcome, and all the play equipment was low level, so no need to go chasing after little ones attempting to navigate high climbing frames etc, which made it a much more relaxing experience for me! The sprung floor made it extra safe too! It made the whole experience very easy, the children are completely within your sight at all times ( no hidden corners) so you can watch from a distance and enjoy a cup.of their excellent coffee! I will definitely be back. Thank you from both of us!

Fantastic experience: Lovely space!

Fantastic experience: Lovely environment. The staff are always happy and welcoming and the food and coffee is great!!!

Fantastic experience: It was our first time visiting and we were super impressed. It was easy to find with plenty of free parking opposite. The building is new and very impressive. On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owners. Once shoes were taken off we had a great session playing with loads of new toys, bouncy castle, ball bit all on soft flooring which is perfect for babies and toddlers. Then we enjoyed a lovely coffee and pastry which looked out onto a cute little garden. Will definitely be back very soon!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and super clean soft play. Also great parking and a lovely cafe on site. Was perfect for my little boy :)

Fantastic experience: Great place and great teachers. The students finish the lesson sweating and well exercised.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in today after walking my dog. Fabulously friendly and efficient service, my daughter and I sat outside with our dog in a little tranquil haven. Great staff and a great cup of tea!

Fantastic experience: Only just discovered this place recently whilst out walking my dog nearby on Thorpe Green. Great place to stop by for a coffee, they have plenty of places to sit in and out. Friendly staff, good service and delicious coffee and treats available. This has now become my regular place to stop off for a coffee before walking my dog.

Fantastic experience: Well managed, yet very friendly. When I go to look after my 2yo granddaughter, her first words to me are always "soft play", and she means this one. A safe environment, plenty of room, with everything at ground level. You only pay for your toddler, but you could go elsewhere and pay twice as much, then be required to crawl through off the ground tunnels and/or lose sight of your little darling. At Dojo, you can sit down to enjoy a coffee or more, (all refreshments reasonably priced), whilst watching your toddler burn off energy. The recent addition of a bouncy castle has added to the fun. Plenty of car parking space. The car park and approach road surfaces are not great, but they will sort that as soon as authorities give them the go ahead. A fantastic facility, that deserves to succeed. Don't just take my word for it. Try it for yourselves!

Negative experience: Prices were raised to 7£, 12£ for siblings. When we went it was rather busy with lots of older kids running around and moving/disassembling the soft play items which are rather small and not attached to anything. There were a few random toy items in a box that had been scattered about as well. I got the feeling that the soft play was a bit of an after thought by staff to make some extra money and use the space in the mornings. Outlets weren’t covered, charge cables were left plugged in, cleaning supplies were left out within reach of kids and the staff never left the cafe area to check the play space. I can’t really imagine what age group they thought this set up was appropriate for, but for my curious toddler who still tries to put things in his mouth it just became stressful for me chasing him about and pulling him away from dangerous things. Although it’s very close to our house and I really wanted to like it, we probably wouldn’t go back unless I hear that significant improvements are made. Other area soft plays are a better value.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful cafe just opposite Thorpe green - It’s perfect for dog walkers!

Fantastic experience: Love bringing my little one here, it’s a great space for them to run around and play. It’s always super clean and the staff are always very welcoming

Fantastic experience: Great venue for a party. Very clean and really accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place. Very clean, great parking facilities. Kids thoroughly enjoyed the birthday party they had set out. Bouncy castles, soft play and perfect kitchen area with tables and chairs

Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly soft play area to meet up with friends, have coffee whilst your kiddies are having great fun, and an ideal place for birthday parties.

Fantastic experience: Such a nice spacious and clean soft play area

Fantastic experience: We hired the Dojo Soft Play for a toddlers birthday party which also included use of the coffee shop. It was such a clean, bright and big space where the kids could safety run around on the sprung floor and with the high ceilings, we were also able to have a bouncy castle. I've also taken my kids to the stay and play sessions since it opened last month, it's such a reasonable price (and a bonus that they don't charge for adults), the play equipment is immaculate and the coffees and cakes there are delicious! I can't wait to return again!

Fantastic experience: Wow, what a beautifully clean, well thought through soft play at Thorpe Green. It's at an amazing venue generally used for judo with free parking outside and baby changing facilities. Open Monday to Friday from 0930-1230 for children aged 1-4 years Bonus too as they serve lovely coffee and incredible cakes.

Fantastic experience: I've been to other dojo's and Core Judo is by the best environment the learn it. There's plenty of space on the mat for it also. The Core coaches are incredibly professional and teach from the young all the way to the adult classes. You really pick up the spirit of Judo as soon as you step into the place. The mats themselves are sat on sprung floor so being thrown in there can be not as daunting as being thrown on just a padded mat. Overall, I and my kids love Core Judo and have had an amazing 2/3 years there so far.

Fantastic experience: Sorry I posted an awful review yesterday I apologise for that review I have since deleted it

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best place & environment to learn judo. My daughter & son love it, and so do all the family. They started in Year one at school & we’ve not looked back since! Best coaching (trophies to show it), but they never push the children to compete. Children make friends & still manage to compete to get the best out of their time at the Dojo. Family atmosphere & team spirit have taught my children respect & a great moral code & ethics. Thank you to the Core Judo coaches & family.

Fantastic experience: Best place to learn family orientated and very accepting

Fantastic experience: A brilliant place and in a lovely venue. Our son has attended various clubs here and he loves it. The owner is also super friendly and helpful. Keep up the awesome work!
