Pouring down with rain and at your wits end with the little ones?
Fear not – we’ve taken a look at some of the best soft play options in Surrey and nearby. When the rain comes lashing down, there is only one thing parents fear more than soggy trainers marched across carpets – the dreaded ‘Mum, I’m bored!'
While many inventive parents up and down the country bring out the arts & crafts box or board games, sometimes all your tiny terrors want to do is charge around, hell-bent on wearing you out. Fortunately for you, we’ve rounded up a number of indoor play centres where you can kick back and relax while keeping the kids happy.
