From soft play chiswick  kid cities and jungle theme ball pits to Montessori-led adventures and tree house inspired soft play chiswick, London’s children are spoilt for choice when it comes to play. And while some of the more garish soft play centres in the UK can be a little grubby, there are also a growing number of stylish and carefully designed play cafes popping up with Scandi-inspired toys, artisan coffee and adult-friendly amenities.

Moving around soft play equipment – up ramps, down slides and through tunnels – helps young children to become aware of their immediate environment. This is known as spatial awareness and it helps to develop important problem-solving skills. Climbing netting and diving into ball pits helps children to use their gross motor muscles (those used by the larger body parts such as the legs, arms and torso) and this can help improve hand-eye coordination.
