1 / 2A's Nursery & Soft Play Centre
📍 Ilford, Greater London
Multi-level soft play for ages 0–10 with dedicated baby, toddler, and older-child zones. Birthday parties use a large back room with themed decorations and balloons. On-site Costa coffee for parents. Pre-booking required for sessions.
Just had my son’s 4th birthday party here and it was perfect. Kids and parents all had a great time. The place is lovely and clean and the staff friendly and incredibly helpful. The place was decorated with balloon displays according to our son’s dinosaur theme and table set for the children to eat afterwards, we were able to supply our own food and drinks if we wanted but there was also a Costa station so you can also purchase. The softplay serves various ages which meant younger siblings could also join in. Visibility of children from the seating areas is good which means adults can be a bit more relaxed. All in all a great space in general and certainly for a party - we are so pleased that we went with booking A’s. Thank you Andy for everything and see you soon!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The standout choice in Ilford for birthday parties with children aged 1–4. The themed back room, attentive staff, and Costa partnership make it genuinely stress-free. The multi-zone layout works for mixed-age sibling groups, and the sightlines from the seating area give parents a clear view of all zones simultaneously.

“We had an exclusive hire of a's soft play for my 2 year old's birthday and it was absolutely perfect! The wildlife theme was amazing, with realistic and colourful decorations that made us feel like we were in a jungle. The staff were very supportive and friendly, helping us with the setup and the cleaning. The play area was very clean and safe, with plenty of toys and activities for the kids to enjoy. My little one had a blast and so did all the guests. I would highly recommend a's soft play for anyone looking for a fun and hassle-free birthday party venue. Thank you a's soft play for making our day special!”

“We had a great time celebrating my son's first birthday here, the staff make things so much easier by setting up the back area for children to eat with the décor too. The soft play itself is a good size with more than enough to keep little ones entertained and the fact there was a Costa inside too meant that the caffeine hunters were able to get their fix too. I can't recommend A's enough and their help prior to the birthday such as allowing us to drop non perishable items like crisps and drinks a few days earlier to make the day of the party run much smoother.”

“We hired the venue for two hours for our son's first birthday. The experience at A's Nursery & Soft Play Centre was superb. All the children had fun playing and the adults enjoyed the coffee and refreshments. The venue was very clean. The staff member on shift, Anna, was exceptional - very attentive and easy to communicate with. All in all, a fantastic day out for all.”

Overview
A's Nursery and Soft Play Centre divides its space across baby, toddler, and older-child zones, with good sightlines from the seating area that let parents supervise without hovering. The back party room takes themed decorations, balloons, and table settings that staff set up in advance — families can drop off non-perishable items a few days early. Own food and drinks are welcome, or parents can order from the Costa on site. Staff will warm and serve outside catered food.
