Soft Play in Stockton Heath for 0–5s
Soft play and role play for babies, toddlers and preschoolers, with a home-cooked café right beside it.
Our soft play is designed specifically for 0–5 year olds – large enough to explore, climb and make friends, while keeping little ones in sight. Grab a table in the café, order something home-cooked and watch them play.
What's in our soft play
- Slides, rollers and a ball pit to master
- A role-play village with dressing up – do the shopping as a princess, firefighter or police officer
- An under-1s area just for babies (and under-1s play free)
