    Fraud - No.
    A scam - No.
    A rip off - Yes.

    Just don't go back, or get someone to look after the toddler when you take your other kids. Simples.


    They wont be getting any money from us, the meals we bought there or from the 4-5 other people we went with.

    A 3 month old is not a toddler though.

    So basically the only person who is going to really suffer is your 2 year old daughter who "loves it" but is now no longer going to be able to go. Thats a kick in the teeth for her :)

    Yes, thankfully there are plenty of other soft play centres around Leeds that are free for babies. Not as convenient location wise :(

    I wonder if David Lloyds will notice a drop in numbers now they have introduced a £5 fee for a new born baby to enter the play centre?

    have you phoned to ask why they introduced the charge? I agree its a rip off but its not a scam. I would tell them that you are no longer going to go there due to the cost and perhaps that will get them to rethink the charge.
