Soft play refers to a specifically-designed play area where almost all surfaces and equipment are covered in thick padding. This gives children a soft environment where they are safe to act in ways they otherwise might not be able to. Soft play equipment can include things such as ball pits, padded slides, jungle gyms and various ramps, stairs and climbing frames.

• Exploration

Exploring on their own through the soft play environment gives children feelings of autonomy, freedom and a level of control they may not have experienced before.

• Decision making

Soft play areas often provide opportunities for young children to make their own decisions about which direction to go in (left or right, up or down). Having autonomy over their own actions within a safe environment is beneficial for children’s self-esteem and sense of responsibility. It can also help children feel in control more than they may in their day-to-day lives where they often need to do what others tell them to.

• Spatial awareness

Moving around soft play equipment - up ramps, down slides, around corners, through tunnels - all helps children become more aware of their immediate surroundings and how to move safely through them. This is called spatial awareness and is an important skill for young children to develop.

• Sensory stimulation

Sensory stimulation includes any play items that engage the five senses. Soft play usually engages three of these - sight, sound and touch.

Our soft play equipment is best for children under the age of 5.
