Toddler activities for rainy days

[hwebb]

Just had to let people know about a great soft play space I discovered yesterday. It's at 89 London Road in Croydon, about 200m from West Croydon station. No exactly local but very easy to get to by train or bus from the areas around ED and perfect for a rainy day. There's a two-tier soft play zone, including a slide and ball pit, a second soft play zone for smaller children, a baby play space, books corner, sensory room, craft room and play kitchen and each two-hour session only costs ?1! All the equipment was really clean and top quality. There is also a cafe with reasonably priced kids food, cakes, tea and coffee.

One of the lovely staff members said it was at risk of closure (thanks to the Government's idiotic re-jig of Sure Start) so I'd urge anyone who is looking for this kind of space to give it a go and help its case to stay open.

Open 7 days, with a special session for dads on Saturday mornings.

That's good, because I was thinking of going there once but weekends was parties only.

Thanks!

They do have party times set aside on weekends: 3-4.30pm or 3-5.30pm (according to brochure I took home). The weekend play sessions are 1.5 hours from 11am or 1pm and the Dads' time is 9.30-11am on Saturdays.

The phone number is 020 86498441 if you want to double check before making the trip.

Enjoy!
