The Little Play Lounge
Play With Us!
Our relaxed indoor play sessions in Padworth, near Reading, have been thoughtfully created for babies and toddlers aged 0–3.5 years.
A calm alternative to traditional soft play, our beautifully designed space gives little ones the freedom to explore, imagine and play at their own pace, with a dedicated area for our smallest visitors and plenty for curious toddlers to discover.
'It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.'
~ Fred Rogers
Indoor Play for
Babies & Toddlers
Our play space has been carefully designed with little ones in mind. From climbing and imaginative play to quieter moments of discovery, there’s plenty to explore without the noise and overstimulation of a traditional soft play.
Sessions are kept relaxed and comfortable, giving children the space to play at their own pace while parents and carers can enjoy being there too.
A Special Space
for Babies
Our dedicated baby area offers a softer, calmer space for our tiniest visitors to stretch, roll, explore and enjoy sensory play at their own pace. It gives babies their own little place to discover while still feeling part of the wider play space.
Alongside it, our tranquil Sofa Club gives parents and carers somewhere comfortable to sit back, feed, cuddle or simply take a quiet moment while little ones play nearby. It’s designed to make those early days out feel a little easier, with a calm space for both baby and grown-up.
Visiting With
Older Children?
Bringing an older sibling along? They’re very welcome to join you in the indoor play area and enjoy the wider Little Play Lounge too.
As our indoor play space has been specially designed for babies and toddlers aged 0–3.5 years, we just ask that older children are respectful of the little ones around them and do not use the swing or climbing equipment.
They’re also very welcome to enjoy our café, spacious gardens and outdoor climbing frame before or after your session.
Book a play session!
Ready for a little play? Our relaxed one-hour sessions give babies and toddlers aged 0–3.5 years plenty of time to explore, imagine and play at their own pace.
Spaces are kept limited to help maintain the calm, comfortable environment we love. Simply choose a session that suits you to see our latest dates and availability.
Bookings are released two weeks in advance.
Book Mum & Baby Club!
Our Mum & Baby Club is a relaxed little space to get out of the house, meet other mums and spend time with your baby without the pressure of a formal class.
Come along for a change of scenery, enjoy a coffee and some grown-up conversation while your little one stays close by. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out, sometimes simply being around other mums who understand this stage of life can make all the difference.
The club is designed especially for mums attending with their own child or children, helping to keep the group calm, comfortable and easy to connect in.
Stay A Little Longer...
Your visit doesn’t have to end when playtime does. Stay for coffee, lunch or something sweet in our family-friendly café, settle into the tranquil Sofa Club for a quieter moment, or head outside to enjoy the gardens and outdoor play space.
The Sofa Club is perfect for those slower moments: whether you’re feeding, cuddling, chatting with another parent or simply taking five minutes to sit back while your little one stays close by.
There’s no rush to head home once your session finishes. You’re very welcome to stay a little longer, enjoy the space and make a bit more of your visit with us.

Little Welly Wander
Join us for a calm, supportive wellness walk designed especially for mums and their little ones.
This is a chance to step outside, slow things down, and enjoy some fresh air, gentle movement, and connection, with no expectations and no pressure. We’ll wander through our private grounds at an easy pace, say hello to our farm animals, and let the children explore along the way.
The walk is as much about your mental wellbeing as it is about getting outside, a space to breathe, chat if you want to, or simply enjoy the quiet countryside.
After the walk, we’ll gather in our cosy Sofa Club for a relaxed chat and a much-needed coffee break. Think comfy seats, warm drinks, and real conversations with other mums who get it. Whether you feel like talking, listening, or just sitting quietly, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
This is part of our commitment to giving back to the community and supporting maternal mental health. Our walks are completely free to attend, because support and connection should be accessible to all.
Come for the walk.
Stay for the coffee.
