Compact soft play inside Costa Coffee North Chingford designed for children aged 0-4. Sessions capped at 7 children for a quiet atmosphere. Sibling discounts, weekend private hire, and soft play customers receive a Costa discount.
Safari Soft Play in North Chingford (inside Costa Coffee at the back) is a really lovely little soft play for young children. Itβs a smaller, calmer space, which makes it ideal for babies and toddlers (around 0β3 years) and great if youβre looking for somewhere quieter and more manageable than the bigger soft play centres. Even though itβs compact, thereβs plenty to keep little ones entertained. There are lots of different wall activities to explore, along with books to read and other fun sensory bits that are great for keeping toddlers engaged and encouraging them to play and learn at their own pace. Itβs a nice mix of soft play and interactive activities, so it works well for children who enjoy exploring rather than just running around. The play area is clean, tidy and well looked after, which is always a big plus, and the staff are consistently friendly, welcoming and helpful. It also feels really convenient being inside Costa, as you can enjoy a coffee while your little one plays nearby. Overall, itβs a great local spot and Iβd definitely recommend it to any parents nearby with a 0β3 year old who want a relaxed, safe and enjoyable place for a play session.
π Family Action Verdict
An excellent pick for parents of babies and toddlers aged 0-3 who want a manageable, low-stimulation play environment with good coffee on hand. The capped capacity makes it noticeably calmer than larger soft plays. Best for under-3s β older toddlers may find the space limiting. Birthday party packages work well for small, intimate groups.

βReally lovely soft play at the back of Costa coffee. It is the perfect size for babies, toddlers and small children. It has so many lovely toys to play with, things to climb and different activities in the walls. Itβs kept very clean and tidy and the lady who works there is so so lovely. She has such a friendly and gentle vibe to her and she talks to the parents and the children and helps them to play. Thereβs tables to sit at and high chairs as well as colouring for kids to do. Thereβs age appropriate snacks to buy and water available. Thereβs a baby changing facility as well. We were given a banana for free on our way out the first time we went which was so sweet and loved by my little girl. Iβll be going back many many times!β
