FAQs

Yes, since re-opening post-lockdown, we've switched to a new online booking system, located under indoor play. This allows us to limit our capacity, and split our opening hours into sessions, in order to keep our play centres both fun and safe. If you're having difficulty booking, please click here to contact us.

As part of our move to a new online booking system, all 3 of our play centres are now cashless. We no longer keep change on site, and we don't accept cash, so please make sure to bring your card with you if you do wish to purchase anything from the cafe. The only time you'll need cash at one of our play centres is if you wish to use our coin-operated machines (such as the candyfloss machine at our Hemel Hempstead site, the ride-on ice cream van at our Berkhamsted site or the tractor at our St Albans site).

As per our terms and conditions, we are unable to offer refunds, and we ask for 24 hours notice in writing (to info@djsplay.co.uk) in order to reschedule a booking for you (subject to availability).

Everyone who enters our play centre takes a space out of our capacity. On top of this, the price paid for adults helps to cover the cost of cleaning our facilities (from keeping our tables and floors clean, to keeping our toilets spotless)!

Just as adults do, babies also take a space out of our capacity. In response to feedback we received, we've reduced the price of under-1s to £3.00 (when booking online). We provide a number of facilities and services which cater to under-1s, including providing high chairs, sofas (for somewhere comfy to sit when breastfeeding), microwaves to warm up milk, baby changing facilities and allowing prams to be brought in. On top of this we've introduced sensory areas at our Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted site, and sensory equipment at our St Albans site. Our under 2s areas are in high demand, particularly during the week, and charging for under-1s contributes to both the maintenance, and regular cleaning of these. Babies under 6 months old are free with a paying sibling and do not need to be added to your booking.

Everyone who enters our play centre takes a space out of our capacity and needs to be paid for on a pay to enter policy.

Yes, Go Karts are £1 a go by card payment. Children need to be age 3 to ride with a parent and age 4 on their own. Shoes must be worn.

Memberships are purchased anually, for £195 for the first child, and £97.50 for each additional sibling (this includes one adult who can come in for free with each booking).

All you need to bring with you is your card (as we are now cashless), socks to wear on the equipment and yourselves! In order to check in, we only need your surname, but we recommend you also bring your booking confirmation if you can.

All 3 of our sites serve drinks and snacks all day, and our cafe is open for hot and cold food for the first hour of your play session. You can view our menu by clicking here!

Our play centres are allergy-controlled areas, so during our regular play sessions, we do not permit any outside food or drink (with the exception of baby food). Our cafe is able to cater to a huge range of allergies (please make the team on the day aware of any allergies when ordering), and if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
Only official birthday parties are allowed to bring a birthday cake, which is not consumed on the premises (it's wrapped up and taken home), and party bags. The only exception to this rule is when booking an exclusive hire, in this case outside food and drink is allowed to be brought into our play centres.

Good reviews are always appreciated! As a small business every person's feedback matters, and we love to see posts on social media! The best place to leave a review is on Facebook, or on our Google maps pages.
