How to Plan a Soft Play Birthday Party in Colchester
- Book 3–4 weeks ahead for weekends; popular venues fill up fast during school holidays.
- Ask explicitly whether the party room is exclusively yours or shared — this varies between venues.
- Clarify exactly what's in the package: food choices, party bags, invitations, and host time differ significantly.
- Confirm the venue's cake policy before ordering — most allow homemade cakes but some charge a cutting fee.
- Ask about adult supervision ratios and whether venue staff are included for the children during play time.
