Find the Right Soft Play for Your PartyBig Smiles for the Smallest Party Guests
Not every child is ready for a bouncy castle. For babies and toddlers, soft play can provide a more suitable introduction to party entertainment, with equipment designed around younger children's needs.
Soft play encourages children to investigate different shapes, practise movement and enjoy imaginative activities at their own pace. It's also a useful way to create a dedicated play area at celebrations where adults and older children have their own entertainment.
Our soft play sets are maintained, inspected and cleaned between hires, helping us provide equipment that's ready for the next celebration.
Designed for Little Ones
Soft play equipment intended for younger children, subject to the stated age and suitability requirements of each set.
Clean & Well Maintained
We clean and inspect our equipment to help ensure it is presented in good condition for your event.
Delivered to Your Venue
Our team brings your chosen soft play equipment to your event location, arranges the setup and collects it afterwards.
First Birthdays, Christenings & Toddler Parties Made More Playful
Soft play hire is a popular option for celebrations where the youngest guests need their own activities. It can be used as the main entertainment at a toddler party or as a separate play area at a larger family event.
First Birthday Soft Play Hire
A first birthday is a special milestone, and soft play can give babies and toddlers an age-appropriate activity area while family and friends celebrate. Choose a set suitable for the birthday child's stage of development.
Christenings & Naming Ceremonies
Soft play can provide entertainment for younger guests at christening receptions and naming celebrations, particularly when the event includes families with babies and toddlers.
Toddler Birthday Parties
For second and third birthdays, suitable soft play equipment can encourage movement, imaginative play and social interaction. Check the age guidance for your chosen set before booking.
Weddings & Family Celebrations
A supervised soft play area can provide a dedicated activity for younger children at suitable wedding receptions, anniversary parties and larger family celebrations.
Nursery & Preschool Events
Soft play can be considered for nursery celebrations, preschool parties and other organised events involving younger children, with appropriate supervision and venue arrangements.
Indoor Winter Parties
When the weather makes outdoor activities less practical, a suitable indoor soft play setup can keep little ones entertained at a hall or other appropriate venue.
Choosing Soft Play for Babies, Crawlers & Toddlers
Children develop at different rates, so the best soft play set depends on more than their age alone. Think about the children's mobility, the number of little guests attending and the kind of activities they enjoy.
Soft Play for Younger Babies
For babies who are not yet confidently mobile, consider whether the available equipment is appropriate for their stage of development.
Soft play may offer opportunities for supervised sensory exploration, but not every soft play set is suitable for babies. Check the manufacturer's age guidance and the contents of the particular package.
Very young babies need especially close adult attention, and equipment should only be used where it is specifically suitable for them.
Soft Play for Crawlers & Toddlers
Mobile babies and toddlers often enjoy activities that allow them to practise movement and explore different shapes.
Depending on the chosen package, soft play may include:
- Soft shapes and building blocks.
- Low-level climbing and movement activities.
- Colourful play equipment.
- Imaginative play opportunities.
- Ball play where included in the package.
Check the individual product listing to confirm exactly what is included.
Important: Soft play equipment is not automatically suitable for every baby or toddler. Always follow the age, size and capacity restrictions for your chosen package, and provide continuous responsible adult supervision. Children of significantly different sizes or developmental stages may need separate play arrangements.
Planning a Soft Play Party at Home or in a Village Hall?
Soft play can be a practical choice for indoor celebrations, particularly in community halls, village halls and suitable private venues. The equipment should be installed on a clean, level surface with enough room for children to move around safely.
Before booking, consider the following:
- Floor space: Check the dimensions of the soft play package and allow sufficient room around the equipment.
- Floor condition: The setup area should be clean, dry, level and free from sharp objects or other hazards.
- Access: Make sure the delivery team can reach the intended play area safely.
- Adult supervision: Arrange for responsible adults to supervise the children throughout the event.
- Food and drink: Keep refreshments away from the play equipment.
- Venue permission: Confirm that your hall or venue allows hired soft play equipment.
If you're hiring a village hall in Cambridge, Royston, Hitchin or another local area, it's worth checking the venue's access arrangements and available floor space before choosing a package.
Outdoor suitability depends on the equipment and conditions. Please check with us before planning an outdoor soft play setup, as some packages may be intended for indoor use only.
Soft Play or a Bouncy Castle: What's Best for Younger Children?
Soft play and bouncy castles offer different kinds of entertainment, so choosing between them depends on the children attending your event.
When Soft Play Makes Sense
Soft play can be a particularly useful choice for:
- First birthday parties.
- Celebrations mainly attended by toddlers.
- Indoor events with younger children.
- Christenings and naming ceremonies.
- Creating a separate play area at a family event.
Its suitability depends on the individual equipment and the children's developmental stages.
When to Consider a Bouncy Castle
If your guests are older and enjoy jumping, a suitable bouncy castle may be a better choice.
For children who enjoy both jumping and sliding, our bouncy castles with slides provide another option.
At events with different age groups, hiring separate suitable attractions can help provide entertainment without mixing babies and toddlers with older children on equipment that isn't designed for shared use.

Clean Soft Play Equipment for Little Hands & Busy Feet

We maintain, inspect and clean our soft play equipment between hires, using appropriate cleaning methods and products. Our aim is to provide equipment in good condition, ready for the children attending your celebration.
Safe use also depends on the arrangements in place during the event. Parents, carers and event organisers should follow the operating instructions for the chosen package.
- Supervise babies and toddlers continuously while they use the equipment.
- Follow all stated age, size and capacity restrictions.
- Keep shoes, food, drinks and sharp objects away from soft play.
- Do not allow rough play, unsafe climbing or overcrowding.
- Keep pets and older children off equipment intended for younger users.
- Keep the play area clear of surrounding hazards and obstructions.
- Report any damage or concerns and stop using affected equipment.
Soft play equipment does not replace adult supervision. Responsible adults should remain attentive throughout the hire period.
