Cadwinkle - Review
by Joseph Tilbey ( aged 2 and a bit ), Spring 2006

My mummy keeps taking me to this place called Cadwinkle in Falkirk.  I know that it is in Falkirk as it near that Central Retail park she also keeps taking me to.

Anyway, I think the reason that she keeps going there is because they serve a really good coffee, and also because it is very safe for me to play and she can have a break. 

I like it because it is not too big a soft play. I can see Mummy from most of the play areas and it has a wicked 'big' slide on the ' over 5s ' section that I can go on.  There is nearly always some-one at the top of the ' big' slide '  to help me should I have a problem. However, if this section becomes quite rough with bigger boys Mummy often makes me go on  'under 5s' section. 

This  'under 5s'  area is also good fun.  It has a fast but smaller slide and in here there is also lots for me to do.  I especially like going into the ball pit.  However, I am unable to get out on my own therefore have to kick up a bit of a fuss until Mummy comes and hauls me out.  I do like seeing her go redder and redder especially on the third time of doing this.

There is also a play area for the really tiny babies - those that can't walk very well - this is alright but a bit tedious for me, and I keep being told by Mummy to be 'gentle. '   How boring!!!!!

As I have been quite a few times, I have sampled quite a lot of the menu (so has Mummy) and the food (as I heard her say) is of good quality and reasonably priced.  We never have to wait long for food ( just as well as we always arrive late for lunch and I am always starving by then.)

 The staff are friendly and often help me if I should fall over or find myself stuck on a piece of apparatus.  Mummy isn't allowed into the bigger play section but can come and help me in the smaller play section.  It is a bit scary though when some-one you don't know has to come and help you.

 I have had my nappy changed there and the changing facilities seem very clean, smell very fresh and from my vantage point of lying on my back there appear to be no cobwebs!!!  However, they do seem a little cold so Mummy is always really quick in there.  Which is good as I can then get back to the serious point of playing!!!!

 I am going again soon  to celebrate my friends'  birthday so will let you know what it is like for parties.

 Well, that's seem about if for my review, give it go and see what you think.  May see you there sometime on the ' big slide '
