About Us
Bears Little Play
Our Story
In June 2023, Jaye decided to take a step away from her role as a nanny and pursue something new and challenging that she could build for herself. With her strong passion for childcare, she knew it had to remain centred around children and families. Thinking about what was missing in Godalming, Surrey—and what she herself would love as a parent—the idea of a soft play business came to life.
By September 2023, after months of planning, Bears Little Play officially opened its doors at Busbridge Village Hall, offering soft play sessions three days a week.
Within just a few weeks, parents began asking, “Do you offer parties?” Although this hadn’t been part of the original plan, Jaye quickly recognised the local demand. Before long, Bears Little Play had taken its first party bookings and expanded into hosting celebrations at Busbridge Village Hall.
As word spread in early 2024, families began requesting soft play hire at other venues for birthdays, christenings, and even weddings. To meet this growing demand, Jaye invested in a larger vehicle to deliver equipment across Surrey. This soon extended into Sussex and Hampshire, allowing Bears Little Play to reach even more families.
With her childcare background, Jaye also saw the perfect opportunity to bring her nannying experience into the business. She introduced Event Nannying, offering professional childcare at weddings and other special occasions—a role she was thrilled to return to and one that parents truly valued.
Over time, Bears Little Play has continued to expand its services, now proudly offering:
• A wide range of soft play equipment hire for all occasions
• Event Nannying across Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire
• Party extras including Bears Little Lunch Bags, a dedicated party host, clean-up services, invitations, and party bags
• Deliveries in our personalised Bears Little Play van
From a small local idea to a growing business supporting families across the region, Bears Little Play is built with love, care, and the belief that children deserve safe, fun, and memorable experiences.
Jaye is excited to see where this journey takes Bears Little Play next and looks forward to helping families create more wonderful memories together.
