Rainbow Soft Play

The sensory world of a child is magical. All children learn through sound, smell, taste, taste, touch, movement and exploration. They can benefit greatly from activities that appeal and challenge a range of senses at one time. At Rainbow Soft Play children can enjoy and experience such a range of multi-sensory soft play activities. This can help build their confidence, raise their self esteem and stimulate their brain activity.

Every child whatever their background or circumstances should have the opportunity to achieve their potential through play and social activities. Rainbow Soft Play aims to provide experiences that are stimulating, pleasurable and affordable for children and their families.
