It's hard to judge without seeing a floor plan, but it looks as though there are lots of blind spots where the parents would not be able to see what the kids are getting up to. Also, tables with rounded corners would have been a much better choice against this audience. Sadly it falls over on functionality and attention to detail.

I agree with Marie & R., Seems more like a hip school with bits thrown in to keep kids busy. A place designed by adults trying to think like children. Not a real kids place. Where's the colour? The life? Sorry. Steve Sorry. I agree with Marie & R.,

For example, the step in the doorway between rooms. And the sink which in the photo looks very high for a small child to reach. The cafe area(and the logo) looks for be more for the parents' tastes than the childrens'. I think more could have been done colour-wise whilst still retaining a clean and polished design. Play areas are quite nice though. There are nice aspects to this design, but also a lot which (in my opinion) is quite unsuitable to the childrens’ market.
