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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
