Which Soft Play Set Suits Your Party?

Every set is delivered, laid out on safety mats and collected by us. Here is how to pick the right one, how much space you need and how booking works.

First birthday parties

Our soft play is made for ages 0 to 5, so one set works for the birthday child and for brothers, sisters and friends up to 5.

The Small Ball Pit (3ft x 3ft, £35 a day) is a good fit for younger toddlers or a smaller room.

Toddlers aged 1 to 3

The Standard Soft Play Bundle (£90 a day) has three ladybird bikes, three happy hoppers, two cosy cars, eighteen shaped soft toys (elephants, horses, worms and tortoises), soft tunnels and mats. There is plenty to ride, climb and crawl through.

Prefer a theme? The Pink Princess and Jungle sets are £90 a day each, or pair either with a ball pit.

How Much Space Do You Need?

A full soft play bundle needs about 10ft x 10ft of floor space. The Small Ball Pit is 3ft x 3ft.

Soft play works in a living room, a conservatory, a church or community hall, or a garden. We set it up on safety mats every time.
