Breakdown
Parent summary
Gravity Active Maidstone has friendly, patient staff who engage well with children, and visitors have appreciated clear communication during visits and well-structured party bookings. The venue does present some considerations for SEN families to be aware of: noise levels are notably high, queues can form at peak times, and some equipment may occasionally be out of use.
What visitors say
Visitors have reported that staff are generally attentive and well-organised, with several noting particularly patient and accommodating support. Some visitors have noted that communication about restrictions and equipment availability could be clearer before arrival.
