Q. What areas do you hire and do you charge for delivery?

• 0 - 15 miles from OX16 Free
• 15 - 20 miles from OX16 £20
• 20 - 25 miles from OX16 £25

Q. Is there a minimum age for children?

There is no minimum age. Our equipment is suitable for 0 - 4 year olds and we can configure the equipment to suit the needs to your guests. Children older than 5 are not permitted to play on the equipment.

Q. Can the soft play be used outside?

To ensure the quality of our kit, the safety of your children, and to prevent last minute cancellations due to the weather, we only accept indoor bookings at the moment.

Q. How long will you need to set-up and pack away?

We will need a minimum of 30 - 40 minutes to set up and pack away depending on access. Please consider this when booking your venue. For example if you want a party to start at 11am you would need to book your venue from 10:20am onwards or thereabouts.

Q. How long is the hire period?

We usually only hire once per day so the hire period is guided by your venue and your needs. Our latest collection time is 6pm unless agreed with us prior to your event. In the summer there are occasions where we will be able to accept some later collection times.

Q. How do I pay?

We can accept payment via bank transfer at the moment; let us know if this would cause any issues for you.

Q. Is the soft play available for hire all year round?

Yes, we are available for hire all year round with the exception of Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Some periods are busier than others.

Q. Can we help our children on the soft play equipment?

Of course, parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children and can assist them where required. However shoes should always be removed to avoid scuffs and damage to the equipment. Check out our 'rules of play' page for more details.

Q. What happens if the package size I have booked does not fit my venue?

All sizes are detailed in the package description. Please check the venue has enough space for your required package before booking.

If on arrival we assess that there is not enough room, our kit is flexible, allowing us to accommodate the best fit for your venue which may be smaller than originally hired, the difference will not be refunded. The set up we leave you with, will always have the safety of the children first and foremost.

Q. What happens if the equipment gets damaged while on hire?

Here at Mini monkeys, we pride ourselves on the quality of our kit. We kindly ask that you take care of it by ensuring guests adhere to the rules at all times.
Accidents do happen and we understand this, however we reserve the right to charge a damage fee.

Q. Is the soft play safe?

We do everything we can to ensure the safety of your children through providing you with a safe set up and good quality kit.

The soft play will always be set up at least 1m away from walls, furniture or any other equipment so please consider this when booking and setting up your venue. The Climber's Kingdom package includes a step and slide, due to its height, there must be at least 2m of matting on all sides.

Children must be supervised at all times during play and the behaviour and safety of the children remains the responsibility of the hirer and the parents.

Q. What steps are taken to ensure the soft play is clean & hygienic?

Here at Mini monkeys, we pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our equipment, with everything being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between hires (including every ball in the ball pond).

We use a medical grade anti-viral disinfectant and the ball pond balls are washed with a non-bio germicidal detergent in-between hires.

Our aim is to ensure you and your little ones have a great time whilst knowing that we have the highest standards of cleanliness.

Q. Are you insured?

Yes, Mini monkeys is fully insured, our Public Liability Insurance Certificate is available on request.
