Bringing the joy of soft play to your doorstep has never been easier. Our soft play bus offers a vibrant, safe, and engaging environment that children absolutely love. Whether you are organising a fun-filled day for your school, planning a treat for your nursery children, or hosting a community event for families, hiring our soft play bus is the perfect way to make your occasion both memorable and hassle-free. With its colourful interiors and exciting play zones, the bus provides a mobile soft play solution that fits seamlessly into any setting.
What is a Soft Play Bus?
A soft play bus is a professionally converted double-decker or single-decker bus, transformed into a mini indoor play centre specifically designed for children. Inside the bus, you will find padded flooring, soft play equipment, slides, tunnels, mini climbing structures, ball pits and interactive play features. The entire space is designed to stimulate physical activity, creativity, and social interaction in a safe and enclosed environment.
Catering primarily to children aged from six months to six years, our soft play bus is perfect for a wide range of educational and social occasions. It is fully mobile, meaning it arrives at your venue completely ready for play, removing the need for extensive planning, transport or set-up time.
Perfect for Schools: Fun Meets Learning
Schools are constantly seeking new ways to enhance the learning experience and keep children active and engaged. Hiring our soft play bus provides an innovative and entertaining way to support physical education, reward good behaviour or celebrate key milestones like end-of-term parties or Sports Day.
Our soft play environment supports gross motor skill development, teamwork, coordination and problem-solving—all within a safe and fun space. The bright colours and varied textures of the equipment stimulate sensory play and curiosity. For younger pupils in reception and early years, the soft play bus becomes a magical extension of the classroom, reinforcing learning through play.
The convenience of having a self-contained play area parked directly on school grounds means there’s no need for off-site excursions or long trips to activity centres. Teachers can relax knowing that the experience is supervised, safe and age-appropriate, allowing them to focus on enjoying the event alongside their students.
Enriching Nursery Days with Excitement
Nurseries and early years providers understand the importance of play in childhood development. Our soft play bus brings a dynamic and engaging experience right to your premises, allowing children to explore, climb, crawl and interact in a world of imaginative play.
The bus is an excellent tool for reinforcing the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Every element of the play setup is designed to encourage movement, confidence, cooperation and creativity. It’s the ideal way to treat your little learners to something different, whether it’s a one-off surprise or a regular booking for developmental play sessions.
Staff members benefit from the fully managed nature of the experience. Our trained professionals oversee the session, help manage the children’s safety and ensure everything runs smoothly. The nursery day continues uninterrupted, but with added excitement and smiles.
Engage Families at Community Events
Community events often aim to bring people together, creating spaces where families can relax, socialise and enjoy shared experiences. Our soft play bus provides a standout attraction that adds value and energy to any community celebration, fun day or local festival.
Children are drawn to the bright, welcoming design and the promise of non-stop fun. While they play safely inside the bus, parents can explore other areas of the event, confident that their children are happy and entertained. This frees up families to participate in more activities, enjoy refreshments or connect with local services and organisations.
Event organisers love the convenience and self-sufficiency of the soft play bus. It requires no venue space or elaborate setup. We simply drive in, park and open the doors to fun. Whether you’re hosting an event in a town centre, park, school grounds or village hall, the bus adapts easily to the space and can cater to a wide range of attendees.
Safe, Clean and Professionally Managed
Safety and cleanliness are at the heart of everything we do. Our soft play bus is maintained to the highest standards, with regular cleaning and thorough sanitation of all surfaces and equipment after every session. The play area is fitted with padded surfaces, secure barriers and age-appropriate features that make it safe for even the youngest children to enjoy.
Our team is fully trained and experienced in managing play sessions. We remain on-site to supervise children, support staff or parents and respond to any needs during the hire period. We also hold full insurance, conduct risk assessments and comply with all relevant health and safety regulations, offering complete peace of mind to schools, nurseries and event organisers.
Custom Packages for Every Occasion
Every event is different, and we understand the importance of tailoring our service to meet your needs. Whether you are hiring the bus for an hour, half a day or a full day, we offer flexible packages to suit your schedule and budget. Special requests such as themed decorations, music, or even party extras can be added to create a truly bespoke experience.
Our soft play bus is perfect for both indoor and outdoor venues and requires minimal space to park. We can help you plan the perfect visit, from managing access and setup times to coordinating session durations for different groups of children.
A Unique and Memorable Experience
When you hire our soft play bus, you’re not just booking an activity—you’re creating an unforgettable experience for children and families. The laughter, the excitement, and the joy that comes from exploring a world of soft play is something that stays with children long after the event is over.
For schools looking to energise a school day, nurseries wanting to treat their little learners, or community organisers planning a family-friendly event, our soft play bus is the perfect solution. It delivers fun, learning, and convenience in one colourful package.
Let us bring the play to you—and watch your event light up with happy faces and endless fun.
