A Complete 19-Piece Toddler Play Set
Our soft play hire is centred around a complete 19-piece toddler play set, carefully selected for children aged 0–3 years.
The set includes:
-
A fully enclosed ball pit
-
A range of padded shapes including wedges, cubes, step blocks and a rocker
-
Soft safety matting to create a cushioned play zone
Rather than overwhelming toddlers with oversized equipment, this setup is designed for safe climbing, crawling and early balancing.

The ball pit includes premium 75mm ball pool balls, sized appropriately for toddlers and built for durability.
This is not lightweight or novelty equipment. It is commercial-grade soft play selected for safety, quality and long-term performance.
Space Requirements
Our full 19-piece set requires approximately 3m x 3m of clear floor space.
The enclosed ball pit measures approximately 1.5m x 1.2m, creating a defined and contained toddler zone within the overall setup.
This compact footprint makes the set ideal for:
-
Village halls
-
Community centres
-
Church halls
-
Indoor home parties
-
Nursery spaces
The layout is practical and tidy, keeping younger children safely within one dedicated play area rather than spreading equipment around the room.
Before confirming your booking, we will check that your venue has suitable floor space and clear access for setup.
Designed for Indoor Parties All Year Round
Soft play hire is available all year round.
Because the equipment is fully padded and floor-based, it is perfectly suited to indoor venues. It provides a weather-proof solution for autumn and winter birthdays, and it works equally well during spring and summer when parents prefer the reassurance of an indoor setting.

We ensure safety matting is positioned correctly and that all pieces are arranged securely within the designated play area.
Clear supervision guidance is provided on setup. While soft play is designed for younger children, adult supervision is always required to maintain a safe environment.
Our goal is simple: a clean, secure play space where toddlers can explore confidently.
Suitable Events for Soft Play Hire
Our soft play hire is specifically designed for children aged 0–3 years.
It is particularly popular for:
-
1st birthday parties
-
2nd birthday parties
-
3rd birthday parties
-
Christenings
-
Nursery celebrations
-
Indoor family gatherings
We are careful not to overstate suitability. Soft play is not intended for older children or high-energy rough play. It is created for babies and toddlers who are crawling, cruising or developing early climbing skills.
Keeping the age range clear helps ensure every child plays safely and comfortably.
Combining Soft Play with Other Party Features
If you are planning a mixed-age party, soft play works perfectly alongside a larger inflatable.
By combining soft play with Bouncy Castle Hire, you create:
-
A safe, enclosed area for babies and toddlers
-
A separate inflatable for older children
-
A more balanced and organised party layout
This approach prevents younger children from being overwhelmed while still keeping older siblings entertained.
For milestone celebrations such as first birthdays or christenings, many parents also choose to add our LED Number Hire to create a beautiful photo backdrop. Illuminated numbers positioned near the cake table or entrance area help define the celebration space and capture memorable photographs.
Together, these elements create a well-structured party environment that feels both organised and visually special.
