1 / 2Ojas play café
📍 Hornchurch, Greater London
Hornchurch's dedicated 0-5 soft play café with climbing apparatus, slides, a baby zone, indoor grass flooring, and a changing seasonal theme. Owner-run with a genuine community feel and on-site café serving coffee, cakes, and children's snacks.
I couldn’t rate this place highly enough. We absolutely loved it! My little one had the best time exploring, and I was so impressed with how much there was for children of all different ages. The play areas are clean, safe, and full of variety, which kept my child entertained for hours. It’s clear a lot of thought has gone into making this a fun and welcoming space for families. The café is a lovely bonus too, great coffee, tasty food, and a relaxing spot to sit while the kids play. We’ll definitely be coming back!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for walking toddlers aged 12 months to 4 years. The layout lets parents sit with a hot drink and maintain clear sight lines throughout — a genuine rarity in soft play. The community atmosphere makes it popular for parent meetups.

“I’ve been visiting this lovely soft play cafe, Ojas, regularly since it opened, and it has quickly become a favorite for both me and my daughter. The owner, Sonie, is a fellow mum and you can really tell she has poured her heart into the place. It’s the perfect 'cosy' spot where you can actually sit down and enjoy a hot drink while keeping a clear eye on your little one—no need to constantly run after them! The facility is always impressively clean and sanitary, which is so important to us parents. My daughter specifically loves the dress-up area and, of course, the marshmallows! Huge thanks to Sonie and her warm, accommodating staff, for always making us feel so welcome. A special thank you to Ariela also for being so accommodating to me today and being so friendly!”

“Lovely play cafe for little ones. My 13 month has been going for a few months. We go once a week at least and his daddy and nanny bring him too. Lovely environment for him to let of steam for 1.5 hours! Perfect amount of time and sometimes he never wants to leave. Food is gorgeous and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Will be continuing coming as little one loves it as do the adults! Thank you OJAYS xx”

I get to enjoy a nice hot coffee (and cake) and catch up with friends without worrying about my children as everything is so safe, secure and clean!! One of the only soft plays I regularly visit and cannot recommend enough xx”

Overview
Ojas is an indoor soft play café designed entirely around under-5s, with separate zones for babies and walking toddlers, ride-on cars, a dress-up area, a cosy book nook, and indoor grass flooring. The owner Sonie — a fellow parent — runs it with visible care. Sessions run for around 90 minutes, with full sight lines from the café seating. Coffee, cakes, and children's snacks are served on-site. Babies who are not and walking will find the activity range sparse.
