Indoor Playground · Egham
A converted judo hall on Thorpe Green makes an unusually bright, roomy soft play — high ceilings, a sprung floor, and open sightlines so you can sit with a coffee and still see exactly what your toddler is up to. Sessions are capped, so it never gets that frantic crush; the equipment is immaculate, there's a ball pit, bouncy castle and toys on soft flooring that suit babies as well as walkers, and adults aren't charged. Free parking sits directly opposite, and the toilet has a proper changing area. The cafe end is genuinely good — strong coffee, cakes and toasties — with a little garden to look out on. Weekday stay-and-play runs mornings for ages one to four, so check times before you set off. Birthday hire is popular; one parent found two hours "the perfect amount of time".
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
