Would be grateful for recommendations as to which soft play is best for under 1s. My son has just started crawling but can't yet pull himself to standing. I'm fed up of putting things back on shelves and walking round behind him to check he doesn't hurt himself with stuff so thought that soft play would be a nice change. I know there are a few locally so would be interested in any recommendations. Thanks

Little rascals at Bellingham is best for all round ease of parking, food available, lots of space for babies


Take proof of address to buy membership which is about ?7 and Knocks 1/3 off entry iirc


Otherwise Peckham is ok but parking and cafe etc are all problematic and you only get 45 mins for your money (rubbish if you miss the start of the session too)

Gambados is fantastic for the kids, my daughter and son both love it (I just turned 2, L 8 mths). If you buy an annual pass it's a cheap morning out.


I only go quiet times so it's fine, however, the customer service is an absolute joke and they fail to provide contractual benefits they are obliged to, are aware of this but simply choose to do nothing about it.


Don't expect to gain speedy entrance they claim to provide at busy times (the reality is they only open a member gate at half term).


Also if you have a second baby, you don't get the second child discount unless you take their membership out at the same time as the first child - ie your renewal falls on baby 2's 1st birthday!


If my children didn't enjoy it so much I wouldn't choose to deal with them.

Second toddler world at crystal palace, especially for that age. my 18 month old daughter still struggles with soft play places that are made up of big climbing frames, such as gambados or Brixton leisure centre, I find toddler world with it's big open space she can go off and explore more freely and is now breathing more adventurous and climbing up the few things they do have there.

If you fancy going further afield there is a soft play area at the Army museum on Royal Hospital Road Chelsea.http://www.nam.ac.uk/kids/kids-zone We took our daughter (16 months) there a few weeks ago and we all had a great time. It's well designed with a separate baby area. You do have to pay by the session #2.50 for 50 mins but that was enough time and it meant that it didn't get overcrowded.


What makes it even better is that it's very close to the Kings road and so when they crash out in their pram afterwards - you can nip off and do some shopping or lunching. A perfect day! We went on a sunday when it was easy to park in the residential streets close by, but it wouldn't be difficult to get there from Victoria.

    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
