Five reasons why soft play is a super space for kids

02/07/24

Keeping children entertained is a demanding task. Our soft play areas offer a fantastic mix of fun and skill development.

1.It’s a safe space

Our indoor soft play areas are designed with children’s safety as our top priority. They offer children the opportunity to climb, crawl, hop, and jump without the risk of injury.

2.Soft play develops social skills

Soft play is a form of independent play that allows children to explore and develop their social skills. Often, they will play with other children, learning how to play fairly and share.

3.Playing can improve sleep

Soft play stimulates all the senses without causing sensory overload! It’s a bright, colourful, and fun area where children can explore freely. It encourages physical activity, all of which contributes to a better night’s sleep.

4.Children are constantly learning and developing their skills

Children develop their skills through play. Soft play can help improve balance and coordination as they climb and crawl through obstacles. Not only that, but they also develop their imagination.

5.It’s a space to catch up with friends

Finally, it’s not just a space for children to have fun. Our soft play areas feature a seating area where you can chat and meet friends. We have on-site cafes where you can grab a drink or a snack.

Depending on the age of your child, if you visit our soft play area three times a month, a soft play membership is the best value option, find out more.
