Nova Cafe

Nice clean pool and changing area. Communal pool side changing cubicles and lockers. Timed sessions with coloured wristbands. Plentiful on-site parking, but parking is chargeable with pay and display. The pool has swimming lanes, and they do aqua aerobic classes and swimming classes. There is also a soft play area with climbing and slides for younger children on site. There is a Cafe that serves snacks food and drinks with a Costa coffee. Also a bar .

It's a good soft play area for the kids. Multiple slides and rope climbs, plus a toddler area. It's hectic at the weekend, obviously! Don't bother with the cafe, though. It's basically warmed up microwave food that is severely overpriced. Easy to get to by car or bus. There are two playgrounds, amusement arcades & the beach all a stones throw away.

I’ve been taking my baby swimming lessons here since she was four months old (minimum age) and they are just fantastic. She now loves the water. Bath, shower, sea paddling pool. She loves to splash and never has any issues with water splashing her face. It improved her motor skills and she loves the instructor. I’ve also taken her to soft play here (she’s eight months) and it’s nice there’s a separate baby/toddler bit. However, a four year old boy was picking on her last week. (If she crawled over to a toy he would pick it up and throw it away from her, kept calling her names etc) so it would be nice if staff were around to ensure older children were not permitted in this area or stopped this behaviour from happening. Couldn’t find the parents. We’ve had food from their cafe and I wouldn’t rate it. The Costa coffee is okay.
