Amazing and stress free
I honestly can not fault this company. I hired the soft play for my sons 1st birthday. We had it for 4 days. I couldn't believe how clean it was and so well packed. Delivery and pick up was seamless. I will 100% be using again. Communication was also perfect 10/10.

Best entertainment for a one year olds party
I hired the deluxe soft play package and it did not disappoint! All the kids loved it and it was perfect for my girls first birthday party. Its great value for money considering how much you get and how many days are included in the hire, which also meant we could use parts of it at home prior to the party. Delivery was simple, DPD confirmed a time slot. They did deliver a day early, which for me wasnt a problem bit for someone else it could be. But you simply change the date in your delivery confirmation email if its an issue. Collection couldn't have been easier, the team messaged me the day before to advise the date and time slot, and someone from the team collected. Setting up and packing it again was also very easy. 10/10 would highly recommend!

I booked this soft play for my Granddaughters 1st birthday
I booked this soft play for my granddaughters 1st birthday. It was a bit of a panic situation as we had already booked a different soft play company and was let down 5 days before the party. Softplayinabox gave excellent service, booked on the Monday for delivery on Friday ready for the party on the sat. The boxes albeit big were delivered on the Thursday morning and collected on the Monday afternoon. So extra play time on top. Thank you for coming to our rescue!

The PERFECT soft play setup!
We hired this for our daughters 1st birthday party, and it was a total hit! Both of our children played with it non-stop, and all the guests loved it too at the party. It looks amazing (so aesthetically pleasing), and it truly made the party special. What sets this company apart is the value for money - you get the equipment for much longer than most other companies offer, which is such a bonus. Plus, assembly is a breeze (if I can manage it, anyone can!) If you're considering renting soft play, dont hesitate - this company is the one to go with! I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the future :)

Would hire again!
We hired the soft play for our sons first birthday. It was absolutely perfect and all the children loved it! We were getting quotes from other soft hire places who wanted almost twice as much for 4 hours hire however we had soft play in a box for 4 days! Great value for money and aesthetically pleasing for mum!

fantastic!!
I couldn't recommend soft play in a box more - the items that arrived were really high quality and the children loved playing with them. The ball pit was a huge hit! There was also an issue which resulted in me missing a delivery but the brilliant Charlotte went above and beyond to work with DPD to get my order the same day. Brilliant service and fantastic business, will definitely use again!!

Great product choice and service. Will absolutely use again.
Hired the perfect pastel kit and a couple of extras and I couldnt ask for a better service. First the goods arrive with repack instructions which is everything, it arrived in great condition process was just as easy. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.

Small but mighty
Found this small but mighty company through instagram whilst party planning for my sons first birthday. We hired a hall with a bouncy castle for the older children but was looking for a way to entertain the babies and toddlers. It was a huge hit! It cost me less to hire Soft Play in a Box for a long weekend, than hiring local softplay for basically the same items for only half a day so it was a no brainer. Plus my son got to bring it home and play after the party. Communication was easy, all my queries were answered promptly. We received really useful emails including how to pack everything away which made everything super easy. All items were excellent quality and clean. Would recommend to anyone throwing a party with a large space to use. The only thing we didnt think about which I will mention just to remind others was that you either have to have a space to store the boxes or purchase strong tape to rebuild them afterwards. The boxes were good and strong quality. Ours were delivered on a rainy day, so they got a bit wet, thankfully it didnt seem to affect the quality of the box. Once we unpacked the soft play and realized we didnt have space to store the empty boxes whilst the soft play was out, we disassmbled the boxes carefully and then taped them back up, nice and easily once it was time to return the soft play. Overall, a positive experience and will definitely be looking to book again for the next party.

Perfect equipment at such a great price
I came across this company when I was searching for soft play for my son's first birthday and it was the best decision I made to hire from them. It came on the Thursday, he had it the whole weekend to play with and all for the same price as soft play hire for a 4 hour package locally. It seemed to good to be true to have the courier service but it was so easy. Our son can be a bit cautious with new things, so having the equipment for 2 days before his party really let him explore it at his own pace and safe to say he was so upset when it had to go back. The play equipment came in perfect condition, really clean and took seconds to put together and pack away. We had kids ranging from 9 months to 2.5 years at the party and they all loved it. All the other parents at the party asked where we got it from as they were all so impressed and I recommended it to everyone. Also I really appreciate the environmental approach to reusing boxes. Great quality, great price and so convenient for busy parents.

Fantastic company
Fantastic Company, from start to finish this was a breeze. I contacted some many other companies and the hassel of no one getting back to me was so frustrating. But when I found soft play in a box It was so easy. Added everything I wanted was offered extra... email confirmation came through. Was delivered by DPD and he even took it round to my dad's.
Charlotte from the company rang as there was a delay in on box which was left at warehouse by mistake but she made sure that was delivered the day after and plenty if time for the party. Also arranged collection from my dad's and once we packed it all up which was easier than I thought it would it was collected with a 1 hour time slot. I couldn't recommend this company enough. I will be using again. Thanks so so so much

Fantastic!
We had previously used a local company for soft play hire, but they could not accommodate us for our daughter’s birthday. We came across Soft play in a box from a panicked google search and I don’t think we will use another company again! It was so easy to order, in perfect condition, came when it said it would and likewise collected without a problem. Our children also loved having the soft play for a few extra days! Great company, great service - thank you!

What a brilliant idea!
What a brilliant idea!
I had a weekend of playdates booked so I hired soft play in a box and it was fab! Entertained all the kids from 1-6years old, me and the other mums got to actually catch up while they played. It was easy to set up and pack away. And the communication was great. Highly recommend and will definitely be using them again!

What a brilliant idea
What a brilliant idea. I wasn’t able to find soft play local who had availability and came across soft play in a box. Every part of our experience was seamless from ordering to delivery and collection.
It was easy to set up and the instruction came via email but they weren’t needed.
The children loved it. It made our Little ones first birthday even more special as she had a great time in the ball pit. I think she’d of been happy left there all day!
It was very clean and all in good condition, I would definitely be doing this again rather than hiring one for a couple of hours as you get to keep it all weekend.
Just fabulous thank you so much!

Brilliant idea that's super easy to use and makes for happy kids!
An amazing service that made for a brilliant addition to our little ones first birthday but meant we could also use it before the party, at home. Thank you for providing such a brilliant service! Super easy to put together and put back in the box to send back.

Great idea and fab service
Soft play in a box was a great addition to my son’s first birthday party. The kids loved playing with it!
Organisation and delivery was completely seamless, with everything packed neatly into the bags. All elements of the soft play were lovely and clean and the wallet containing instructions and return labels etc. was very helpful.
Thanks again! It’s great to have an option to hire soft play without the need of a party planner or event space.

Fantastic Company
I can’t recommend this company more highly. The communication was excellent, Charlotte was easy to reach via mobile, very quick to respond via email and her prices are competitive. She is also a mum and just seems like a nice person which really makes a difference! The delivery of the soft play was on time, and again good communication by the courier. The soft play itself was in immaculate condition and it was adored by my 1 year old (and 3 year old!), for my 1 year olds birthday. Would use again.

Couldn't have been easier
Thank you so much for the wonderful soft play. Our girls loved being able to play with it all before and after the party! All our guests loved it and it was so lovely for the kids to all have something to play with at the party. It's such a brilliant idea to rent it out for the whole weekend plus delivery & collection couldn't have been easier. Thank you again!

A Stress-Free Event!
I used this party rental business for my grandchildren, and it was a breeze from start to finish. The selection of toys was great. The equipment arrived on time and was clean and good quality. It was so lovely to be able to send my grandchildren some fun toys for a weekend when we couldn't be with them.

Fun filled party!
We hired this for my 1 year olds first birthday party, from start to finish it was such a breeze. Firstly it got delivered 2 days early & very convenient that it was picked up from us too. I loved that I had the option to personalise the ball pit as it made it that bit more special having my daughters name on!
All the kids absolutely loved playing with it for the afternoon - will definitely be using again in the future. Couldn’t recommend them anymore!

Fantastic for a 1st birthday!
We hired a set for our little boy’s 1st birthday party and honestly couldn’t be happier with it. Communication, delivery and collection was flawless and the items we received were of excellent quality. The kids all had so much fun playing with it all day - definitely worth the hire! Thank you!
