The 30 Best Children's entertainment center in London

“Brilliant show once again! The team was totally on point – super organised from start to finish. The kids’ entertainment was really engaging and kept them happy the whole time, which meant we barely had to do a thing. Such an easy, stress-free party to host – highly recommend!”

“We have used the Kids Entertainers Network for the past two years for party entertainers for our children's parties. They are super efficient and straightforward to book with. The entertainers have been wonderful and really made the parties very special. Nikky the entertainer was wonderful with all the children and kept them laughing and captivated to the end - we had children of between 2 and 7 at the party and she dealt so well with the age ranges. There was something for everyone including the grown ups who got involved! Thank you.”

“Nicole you are amazing!! You made Nellie’s 6th Birthday so special! You’re patient with so many kids was impeccable! They was especially excited in fact it’s the most hypo I’ve seen them so you had a challenge but you absolutely smashed it! Nellie loved all the magic and the foam party at the end was brilliant! Thank you again!”

“Blossoms Years is a very special place we are lucky to be part of. I honestly can’t recommend them enough. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and approachable and partner so well with the parents. The forest school facilities at Blossoms are outstanding and most importantly are used for a large part of the day whatever the weather. They also provide many other extracurricular activities including music and PE lessons which varies the children’s exposure and learning. I can not thank the staff enough for all that they do for the children. They go above and beyond in so many ways and you can tell they love their job and the children and only ever want the best. I can’t thank Blossoms enough for installing a sense of fun, learning and starting my two children’s education in such a positive way. Instilling these foundations is a credit to the staff and one I am truly thankful for.”

“Our son has been at Home from Home for a year now, and we’ve been really happy with the care and support he’s received. He’s developed such a lovely bond with the staff, who are always nurturing and genuinely care about him and all the children in their care. Since joining, we’ve seen him grow so much in confidence, which is a real testament to the warm and encouraging environment the team creates. The staff are always coming up with creative, engaging activities, and we love that the children are regularly out and about in the community. Imagination, fun, and kindness are clearly at the heart of everything they do, and we’re so grateful to everyone at Home from Home for helping our son thrive.”

“We had such a great experience with Edith today, who not only gave my daughter a beautiful haircut, but was patient, kind, and professional. My daughter was calm and happy throughout, watching TV and looking at the fish in the aquarium. It’s an excellent set up. We will be going back soon!”

“We booked Martin for our daughter’s sixth birthday party and he was wonderful. It was a two hour package which consisted of a 40 minute set at the beginning, followed by balloon making for the kids while they played and ate. Right from the outset, Martin was getting big laughs from the kids. I’d worried that 40 minutes was going to be too long to keep their attention, but I needn’t have as he easily kept them engaged (he also told me before starting that he gauges the audience reaction so if he can see a particularly young audience is having trouble staying engaged he can tailor the set accordingly). He was professional and very easy to work with. I’d thoroughly recommend.”

“We went to escape London yesterday for our first ever escape room. What an experience! We tried the Area 51 room and it was very difficult for us but had fun throughout! Bea was lovely and welcomed us in and gave us our briefing super helpful! And we didn’t hesitate to radio Daniel for hints whenever we were stuck (which was quite a lot). He didn’t make us feel useless and guided us along the way and even took pictures for us. 10/10 , can’t wait to come back again and try an easier room!”

“We luv this centre sooo much. My LO is in his element when he gets there it’s like his 2nd home. The staff go the extra mile in everything they do for our LO. The staff are amazing and so caring towards our children. Thxs so much Southmead Children’s centre for what you do for our little ones.”

“Had a great time at Escape London for a team social! We did the Witchcraft & Wizardry room in Whitechapel and had so much fun. Bea was our amazing host. We'll definitely be back to try out the other rooms soon.”

“The customer service provided in the lead up to my son's birthday party was exceptional! The two representatives I liaised with were Freya and Amy, both of whom were extremely helpful and professional. I really appreciated all the information they provided saving me time in searching it up myself. Also, they were very prompt in responding to any queries I had, as well as always being very friendly and courteous. Thanks to their assistance I feel fully informed about what to expect on the day and at ease. I am most grateful for having had their support with organising my son's party! Aleksandra”

“Great place to bring your little ones for activities and health clinics. Friendly staff, varied schedule.”

“Absolutely wonderful place for my baby, staff are so welcoming and approachable, resources are great too! My favourite in Hillingdon!!”

“Story time session for toddlers on Mondays is excellent.”

“My daughter has been attending this nursery for a year now when she was 11 months old and I always find her cheerful there - it feels like a second home to her. I would like to say this is one of the best childcare centres in this area. I was very skeptical initially as a mum to leave my daughter the whole day (10hours). All the staff members Veerpal, Dale, Shazia, Tahira, etc including the head teacher Himanshu are so nurturing, supportive, caring, attentive, kind and helpful to her as well as the other babies. I have always found the key worker Veerpal to be very communicative about my daughter's progress (including the online updates about her progress) and the way she allowed my daughter to take her time to settle in. Whenever I needed any kind of adjustments the whole staff including admin team was always supportive and efficient. The staff do invest a lot of time, effort and patience to allow babies to explore and be independent. I was surprised when I saw my daughter wanting to drink water/milk in a cup on her own without spilling, Building sand castles, messy plays, spending a good amount of time daily in the garden, allowing babies to make individual decisions, making shapes out of play dough, exploring natural materials and nature, singing various rhymes and describing the characters from the story, etc They do have a lot of extra activities for kids accompanied by parents. A yearly outdoor (farm) trip for the kids and parents. Visits to religious places accompanied by parents, obstacle course, etc I have seen a lot of improvements and her skills being enhanced each time. I would highly recommend the Grove house infant centre to anyone looking for a childcare / nursery in the area.”

“Great nursery. Facilitates are great, especially the big garden which has a climbing frame, fish pond, sandpit, guinea pigs. They even had incubated chicks earlier in the year. The staff are great and have been working there for years which is always a good sign. My daughter loves it.”

“Very welcoming and well run. Lots of activities outside and in for all the different stages of development”

“They are so good staff and clean place for kids”

“Staff is super gently! Recommend for any parent, my son didn’t want to leave after one of the courses there”

“Church Road Children's Centre in Mitcham offers support for parents and carers throughout their child's early years. From pregnancy to the end of reception, the centre provides resources and services. The Family Hub offers drop-in sessions for parents and carers seeking information and support.For the most accurate and up-to-date details, I recommend you contact the centre directly”

“Lovely friendly Children's Centre. Lots to do for young children and a good opportunity to see medical professionals such as health visitors, speech therapist, educational psychologist, etc.”

“Very helpful friendly staff . Willing to offer help and advice. I am grateful”

“My toddler enjoyed his first formal sport lesson at the centre. Beautiful provision and lovely staff.”

“A lovely children’s centre with a beautifully designed play room and has great learning opportunities for different ages. There are a range of different areas for play such as small world, role play, reading areas, arts & crafts, sensory & music and also equipment for physical development, allowing children to thrive in all areas of learning. The staff are very attentive, supportive and welcoming. They are always smiling which is reassuring for children, especially those who are new to the setting!”

“Great staff, l remember when my baby got his BCG , it was a cold and rainy day but it ended up being a good day for my baby and l , the place was conducive for breastfeeding and relaxing and the staff were all so nice ,my baby was still a newborn and l was exhausted but that day my energy was boosted and made me more confident of going out and wanting to attend more class.”

“This place is absolutely wonderful. The support you get from each team member and the health visitors is really good. Lots of fun activities during the week suitable for all ages up to 4. (See the booklets or go on the Beckton and royal docks children centre website to see which activity suits your child) your child will develop and as a parent you will learn new ways to interact with your child. Of course the place is also free so you won’t need to worry about prices. One huge advantage is talking to other parents/guardians making new friends (even if your shy like me) and share your child’s growing up experiences with others. Try it out deserves more than 5 stars in my eyes”

“Wonderful receptionist, a warm welcome for every visitor that came through the door. All the children were so excited to be there which speaks volumes.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars It was my first time visiting Softplay with my 15-month-old, and I was pleasantly surprised! The area was spacious, clean, and not overcrowded at all. I loved that they had separate sections for different age groups — including a special area just for little ones up to 18 months. Everything was well supervised. One of the staff members was especially attentive, always making sure the older kids didn’t wander into the baby area and that everyone followed the rules. It made the experience feel very safe and respectful for everyone. The whole place was spotless, the vibe was great, and even the food was good! I also really appreciated that we didn’t need to pre-book — we just walked in, and for the whole family, it was only £11.50 for a two-hour slot, which is amazing value. Overall, it was a wonderful experience — clean, well-organized, and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

“Great activity for kids. Clean, tidy and lots of fun! Tickets are good value but you have to buy and use their own socks which adds to the cost first time round. Soft play for under 5s and younger jumper section cordoned off from main area which is nice for smaller ones. Cafe didn't open until 9:30am although our ticket was from 9am so spectators or jumpers might have to wait if first in. Other areas include a dodgeball arena, crash pit, basketball trampoline court. Spectators can sit in cafe which is upstairs and good view of whole place.”

“So you need to get your new born vaccinated? And you love somewhere within a 4 mile radius of tolworth? Then this is your centre. If you are driving there, please plan some additional time to find parking. Take your pram with you in case you have to walk a distance from where you parked to the centre. Situated right next to a school is this brilliant children's centre with absolutely amazing staff! We went in for a BCG and it was a breeze once we were inside. The staff was fantastic from welcoming and helping my pregnant wife with carrying the baby seat, guiding us to the waiting room, then the vaccination staff was intelligent and well informed on all things about the vaccine, explained all the potential side effects and how to care for the area that was vaccinated etc. all was done in less than 5 minutes. Wearing layers of baby clothes that are easy to remove and put back on would be ideal. I prefer the zip ones to the buttoned ones.”
