"I have used this crèche before my son was enrolled at Rainbow Nursery. It served its purpose while my husband and I went shopping. It was also an exciting experience for my little 3 year old who was kept entertained for 2 hours. Excellent value all round!" (CC, July 10)

"This is a really nice pool with great facilities and it is reasonably priced. You do need to wear swimming hats in the pool but there is a little shop where you can swimming aids etc. Its also a great place to go in the winter months when its to cold to go swimming outdoors!" (GB, March 09)
