Top 30 Best Creative play spaces for kids in London

“Outstanding adventure playground. The Holland Park is an excellent day out! Much enjoyed family day out. Surrounding gardens and woodland well managed in central London. Bucket swings, massive slide, climbing frames, fireman poles, rope ladders and a zip line!!! - all ages of children catered for. A Japanese garden a stones throw away is tranquil after slide swing action and walled garden is stunning in April/May. Peacocks roam and well feed squirrels are pretty daring! Lots of nature initiatives and ecological works and a large football pitch tennis courts and cricket nets near by for older children.”

“It seems as if you were in the middle of nature. A resting place worth admiring.”

“Queen park children center is a God Send Seriously they is no way to express how I fill about that Place !!!!”

“We just had my daughter's 7th birthday at Colour House Theatre! We had 20 kids and all were absolutely mesmerised by the production, my daughter was called on the stage at the end and everyone sang to her. After the show the stage was transformed into our party room, Nukky served delicious pizza and ice-cream. The sound engineer took over musical statues and the team helped us clear away. Wonderful memory, my daughter felt so special and everyone was raving about the party after. Thank you Colour House for a wonderful day!”

“My 4 year old loves this park. More rides, swings and play equipment than use in an afternoon. Fabulous fun!”

“Best place ever. But it’s so nice and quiet I can’t possibly encourage other people to go there... sorry... ;)”

“We celebrated my daughter's 5th birthday at Bertie & Boo in Balham yesterday (second year running!). Just as last year, I cannot fault the team on anything - the booking process was easy as pie, the pricing clear, and the staff super friendly both on the phone and in person on the day. The kids had loads of fun during the play session, were delighted with the unicorn-shaped sandwiches and everyone loved the magic show and dance party at the end. It's a very well-oiled machine where everything runs very smoothly and the staff clearly love working with kids. 5 stars - definitely recommend!”

“A great place for kids! If you are around Stratford in the UK, they have lots of activities for the kids. My daughter loved it here and I highly recommend for kids 2-5 years.”

“Great place , my 11m old had a whale of a time here, so nice to find an indoor soft play where most if not all of it is suitable for an infant (other places tend to have small / basic under 5 areas). Tasty food, friendly staff member. Definitely will be returning.”

“I popped in to three corners with my 7 year old daughter during the summer holidays. She loved it so much she insisted I take her back the following day! yes the equipment is well worn but this is from high volume use of children playing freely and enjoying themselves. The staff only met my daughter for one day and they recognised her, and engaged her in a range of activities as she had no established friendship group at the playground. The staff were incredibly welcoming and gave me full feedback on what my daughter had been doing. I felt assured that she was safe and well cared for. My daughter came back singing new songs, holding her art project, telling me about her adventures and demanding to go again at half term. Thank you three corners you made a 7 year old girl very happy :-)”

“IKEA is still some of the best shopping experience for everything for your home and office environment. There's tons of ideas for every room from sofas, chairs, beds and bedsheets, kitchenware, kitchen cabinets to a range of bathroom accessories. There's so much choice. But really disappointed to see, IKEA has decreased it's plants range and substantially increased plastic faux plants - why? Having said that, the café experience is really good - be it chicken, salmon, plant meat balls as well as quite a few dessert options.”

“Fabulous place for children. My 7 year old adores it here.”

“Really great softplay for toddlers! There are a number different areas for the children to play in - my son especially loved the ball pit with the vacuum machine which pops the balls out ! He stayed in there for ages! Staff are super friendly and helpful - I found the environment very stress free for a twin mum which is rare and il be back again soon !”

“Absolutely love visiting Maggie & Rose with my little brother, he can't get enough of the soft play, and loves the giant dinosaurs in reception. The brasserie offers food for all the family and the staff are so welcoming & friendly! Would recommend to anyone with little ones! x”

“Great one night stay with 2 days in the park. The park had great rides and luckily for us the ques were not too bad. Our 8 year old really enjoyed. Our only complaint, was the air conditioning in our room. It would only blow cold air. We were unable to get it working to warm up. We stayed in the castle hotel, in a themed knights room, which was a great experience. We are all worn out today, from such a fun experience in the park. We ate our tea at the bricks restaurant, which was nice. Good service. We ate our breakfast at the tournament tavern, which was also tasty, with good quality food. Would recommend the experience for families.”

“Popular spot for locals with children. Childrens playground and grassy open space. Had a bit of a revamp recently. My 6 year old niece should have the last word and be the true reviewer for this review. So her verdict.... she loves it, one of her favourite places to play!”

“We love the team at PACE. The staff at both the after school sessions and at the nursery are really fun, friendly, reliable and professional. I would highly recommend it!”

“The party was a huge success which was entirely thanks to Froggle Nick and his uneblievable energy (he must have been exhausted by the end!). He kept 28 children absolutley spellbound for 2 hours and I've never had so many compliments from parents after a party - I think quite a few of the parents there asked for his details at the end and I'm not at all surprised.”

“Our daughter has really enjoyed attending the nursery at Fernbank. The staff seem great and can highly recommend.”

“Great staff,smiling people. Nicely explaining how was your child,what he/she did.Fullll 5+++ Thank you All !”

“Great nursery, As a parent my son thrived at Sutherland and enjoyed his time there. They supplied great preparation for school. All the activities set up are inviting and exciting for children. Staff are friendly and professional and have a great rapport with parents. Management are caring and have great communication. My favourite was the Famly app which allowed me to log on and see what my son had been upto throughout the day as well as being able to track his progress. Would highly recommend this nursery”

“My child had a superb beginning at Dale Avenue nursery. Great staff and very good environment. Would recommend to all that are considering a nursery place for their 2-5 year olds.”

“Staff at Magdalene preschool are very caring, understanding and compassionate. Both my children are very happy at preschool, they’ve loved their key person. I would highly recommend this amazing preschool to others.”

“Explorikids is such a lovely preschool with a good variety of toys and play/educational tools to keep little ones engaged and learning whilst playing and exploring indoors and in their outside space. Maira is not only very knowledgeable about all things educational, but she has a very nurturing and gentle approach with the children, that made me trust my child to her care from the moment I meet her. I just wish she was also the Head at my eldest's primary school! On a final note, I was also particularly pleased to discover her Spanish is of native level. How advantageous for my little one to be exposed to a second language from such a young age!”

“It is obvious that Miss Malina is truly passionate about childcare and child development. She is Montessori experienced and this is apparent in the techniques she uses in the daily activities she does with the children in her care. She is a great person to work with and runs her business very professionally providing all the necessary documentation and updates on your child on a daily basis. My experience at Pollywogs thus far has been very good and I would highly recommend Miss Malina’s services to anyone looking for good quality childcare.”

“I highly recommend Little Green Forest Nursery as from the first day my daughter attended, the staff team were so welcoming and have shown an abundance of support. Their hard work and dedication have exceeded my expectations. My little girls routine has been maintained throughout and I have seen positive changes in her social skills and language. All round fantastic nursery.”

“My daughter studies there, it is the best experience both for her and for us her parents. 100% recommended”

“Fantastic Nursery place with natural and forest School approach to learning”
