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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
