Little Bugs Soft Play is a children’s soft play and café.
We offer a multilevel soft play for children aged 5 years and under and have an area for under 2’s.
Our climbing frame can be explored by all who can crawl, walk and run. We encourage parents to enter with their children if they feel their children need the support but also take the opportunity to allow them to safely explore the frame by themselves where possible.
Our under 2's area is designed to encourage exploration, investigate new heights and have fun. The walls are filled with things to touch, examine pull and stare at. Each actvitiy helps each little mind expand.
