Soft Play Hire in London and Kent

Soft play hire is a reliable way to keep toddlers and young children entertained in a safe, contained environment. Designed for early years play, our soft play equipment encourages crawling, climbing and imaginative play while giving parents peace of mind during parties and events.

Soft play for toddlers and young children

Soft play is particularly well suited to children under five, providing padded shapes and gentle activities that allow them to explore at their own pace. Our range includes colourful shapes, tunnels and building pieces, along with popular options such as the Ball Pool, which is often used as the centre of a toddler play area.

Many families choose soft play for first birthdays and toddler parties, especially when hosting events indoors or in venues with limited space.

Safe, certified equipment for indoor and outdoor use

All of our soft play equipment is PIPA certified and designed to be used safely on hard indoor surfaces or outdoors on grass. The padded design helps reduce bumps and falls, making supervision straightforward for parents and organisers.

Soft play setups work well in living rooms, community halls, church venues and marquees, and can be adapted to suit the available space.

Ideal for birthdays, christenings and family gatherings

Soft play hire is a popular choice for themed birthday parties, christenings and family celebrations where young children are attending. It allows adults to relax and socialise while children remain occupied nearby. Soft play areas are often set up as a dedicated zone within a larger event, helping keep younger children separate from more active attractions.

At weddings and larger family events, soft play provides a calm space that keeps children entertained throughout the day.

Soft play at community and corporate events

Soft play is frequently hired for school fetes, village events and corporate family days. Creating a designated children’s area helps make events more inclusive for families. Soft play is often paired with inflatables from Bouncy Castles for older children, ensuring activities are available for a wide age range.

For indoor corporate events, soft play offers a practical solution where inflatables may not be suitable.

Combining soft play with other hire items

Soft play works well alongside other activities and event extras. Many organisers add refreshments from Popcorn and Candy Floss to keep children fuelled during longer events. For mixed-age celebrations, combining soft play with interactive options such as Sumo Wrestling or Gladiator Duel helps ensure older guests are also entertained.

This approach allows events to cater for both toddlers and adults without overcrowding a single activity.

Clean equipment and professional setup

All soft play items are cleaned before delivery and checked on arrival. Our team delivers and sets up the equipment, arranging the layout to suit your venue and ensuring it is ready for use. Clear guidance is provided so supervision is simple throughout the hire period.
