Children Playing

Welcome to Play Den by Clip ‘n Climb – where little adventurers run wild and parents get to actually sit down!

Nestled inside Clip ‘n Climb Croydon, our three-storey Play Den is a soft play paradise designed for kids under 9. They’ll bounce through hanging bags, race down spiral slides, and conquer climbing platforms galore.

FAQs

The little touches that make a big difference.

As parents ourselves, we know it's often the little details that matter most. We've tried to think of everything – but if we've missed something, just ask!

Can I go into soft play with my child?

Yes! We encourage it, especially if they need a hand. Just don’t forget your socks!

Do you welcome children with additional needs?

Absolutely. If you’d like to chat about accessibility or specific support, give us a call and we’ll help however we can.

Can older kids play unsupervised?

Sorry, no. Adults must supervise at all times – but you can watch comfortably from South Ridge Café.

Are there baby change facilities?

Yes, we’ve got you covered.

Can I buy baby food on-site?

Yes! We stock a small range, or bring your own. For children over 12 months, we just ask that you stick to food and drink from our café.

Do you have microwaves for visitors?

We can heat food and drinks for babies – just ask our café team.

Do you have highchairs?

Plenty! They’re ready and waiting.

What should my child wear?

Comfy clothes they can move freely in – think leggings or joggers. And don’t forget socks!

Is there an age or height limit?

Play Den is for under 9s. We also have a separate area for toddlers.

How long can we stay?

Play Den runs in timed sessions – please check the timetable for exact start and finish times. If you arrive mid-session, you’ll still need to leave at the scheduled end time. For maximum play time, aim to arrive at the session start!

Can I bring my own birthday cake?

Absolutely! We want your celebration to be special. Just bring store-bought cake in its original packaging with allergen and ingredient info clearly displayed.

Is there parking nearby?

Yes! Centrale Shopping Centre and Whitgift Centre both have parking – less than 5 minutes’ walk away.

What are your opening times?

We’re open every day! Please check our timetable for full hours.
