Rainbow Playrooms

I recently visited Rainbow Playrooms, a fantastic facility for children, and was blown away by the experience. The space is accessible, vibrant, and thoughtfully designed with sensory-friendly areas and safe play zones that cater to diverse needs. The staff is truly exceptional—warm, professional, and dedicated. Their storytelling sessions are magical, using expressive voices, visuals, and sensory props to engage every child. The kids’ songs were a highlight, with lively singing, instruments, and inclusive activities that had every child smiling, clapping, or swaying along. Safety is top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring every child’s needs are met. They create a nurturing, joyful environment where kids feel included and empowered. Rainbow Playrooms is a gem, and I highly recommend it to families seeking a fun, supportive space for their children. We can’t wait.

Lovely staff, lovely toys all clean and looked after. Great location.We attend the baby group and have for months. Great food options, reasonable price. It really is the ladies who run it that make it.

Visited with some friends and my 10 month old, we booked online. We turned up in the afternoon and were greeted by a really friendly lady who made us feel totally welcomed. The pram park made a huge difference as it meant I didn’t have to drag my big pram in! I ordered some food and a coffee, it was a really good price and well made - very enjoyable. Our kids loved the environment. The only suggestion I would have is a bit of a clean up a few times in the day, although with it being school holidays and busy I’m sure this is hard. But it kind of felt like the place had been wrecked by other kids beforehand which made it a bit overwhelming. But having said that, my son didn’t really seem to mind so maybe it’s just something that bothers adults - suppose kids will play wether it’s messy or not. Definitely will return next time I’m in Wakefield, the fact it’s in the city centre is only thing that makes it hard as cost of parking and getting into town can be hard sometimes, would visit this loads more if it was somewhere like Horbury. Can see how it being in city centre may open it up for more people who visit city centre lots though :)

The most incredible play and education area for young children and babies in Wakefield and surrounding. A welcoming and friendly atmosphere, with the best learning resources around. A very Montessori inspired area with both indoor and outdoor activities created surrounding a weekly theme, all of which link in with the EYFS. Lots of focus on creativity, kindness, inclusivity and individuality. Sooooo much fun and our favourite place!

I visited with my son on a Saturday morning.From the very start I was quite shocked by the lack of parking. Maybe it is silly of me to expect that a playroom will have at least a few dedicated parking spaces, but having to pay for the parking almost as much as you pay for the playroom feels silly. Plus the actual walk from the parking is annoying 🙄 The place itself was very chilly and quite dirty. Many people walk around the play area with their shoes on. High chairs could do with wiping. The drinks did feel quite overpriced. Towards the end of our play slot (which was only 1.30 hours), toys got taken away from the kids and put away - a tidy up session. My child did not appreciate that. The story and singing bit at the end was nice but felt a bit rushed. After that it was made obvious that we were not welcome anymore. Overall, I am quite disappointed. The place looks lovely in the pics, but the reality is quite different. Members of the staff are quite nice though!
