Who we are

We’re Ben and Rachel — Brisbane parents, early childhood professionals, and the proud founders of Pip & Play.

Between us, we’ve spent years working in childcare, watching little ones light up the moment they step into a space designed just for them. Safe, stimulating, age-appropriate play isn’t just our business — it’s something we’re genuinely passionate about. So when it came time to plan our own child’s first birthday, we looked around Brisbane for someone who could deliver and set up a beautiful, thoughtfully curated soft play space… and came up mostly empty-handed.

That moment became our motivation.

We created Pip & Play for parents who want more for their child’s party. We know how much effort goes into hosting a party for tiny guests — the planning, the food, the wrangling — and we believe the play space should be the easiest part of your day. That’s why we handle everything: we arrive, we set up a safe and stunning play environment scaled perfectly for children aged 1 to 5, and we pack it all away when the fun is done.

However, if you want to pick the package up and manage it yourself, we have an option for that, too.

Because we’re parents ourselves, we understand exactly what you need: equipment that’s clean, safe, and genuinely engaging for little ones — and a service that’s reliable, warm, and completely stress-free for you.

Our Packages

Choose from our range of packages of rental soft play. Either have the package delivered and setup at your child’s party, or handle the transportation and setup of the package yourself.

Of course, if one of these soft play packages doesn’t fit your needs, you can create the package that you want using a kit as a starter and then selecting the various options from our collection, or contact us and we can help you create the perfect soft play package for your special day.

💬  Please note: The safe and appropriate amount of balls are supplied with each ballpit. Please select your choice, or any combination, of ball colour(s) from Baby Blue, Light Pink, Brown, Pale Yellow or White when booking a package.

FAQ

What is soft play hire, and is it suitable for my child?

Soft play hire provides a curated, enclosed play space made from foam-padded equipment — including climbing structures, ball pits, soft mats, and play shapes — all specially designed for young children. Our setups are perfectly suited for children aged 1 to 5 years, providing a safe environment for crawlers, toddlers, and preschoolers to explore, climb, and play freely.

What is included in the hire?

All of our Full Service packages include delivery, full setup, and pack-down at your venue. We arrive before your party, set everything up beautifully, and return at the end to collect it — so you don't have to lift a finger. Pricing is all-inclusive including the balls for the ballpits, in a choice of colours; there are no hidden fees for delivery or labour for parties held between 10am and 6pm.

If you wish to handle the delivery and setup yourself, we also offer DIY Packages for you to pickup. Order, and then contact us with a time you wish to pickup.

Can I pick the soft play up myself?

If you wish to handle the delivery and setup yourself, we also offer DIY Packages for you to pickup. Order, and then contact us with a time you wish to pickup.

What are your standard service hours?

Our standard hire packages cover parties held between 10:00am and 6:00pm, any day of the week — including weekends and public holidays. If you're planning a party outside of these hours, we'd love to help — simply reach out to us directly to discuss your requirements, as additional charges may apply.

How do I lock in a booking?

To secure your booking date, a 50% deposit is required at the time of booking. This reserves your date exclusively for you. The remaining balance is due no later than 3 days prior to your event.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

We understand that life with little ones is wonderfully unpredictable, so we've designed our policy to be as fair and flexible as possible:

  • More than 14 days before your event: Your 50% deposit is fully refundable — no questions asked.
  • Between 14 days and 3 days before your event: A partial refund applies and is assessed on a case-by-case basis. The balance is payable via bank transfer three (3) days prior to the event.
  • Within 3 days of your event: Unfortunately, cancellations made within 3 days of the booking date are non-refundable. By this point, equipment has been reserved, cleaned, and prepared specifically for your event. A booking credit, valid for 6 months, may be offered for rescheduling.
What happens if it rains on the day?

Our equipment is designed for use in indoor spaces only when wet weather is a risk. If rain is forecast or your original venue is outdoors, it is the responsibility of the hirer to arrange a suitable indoor alternative (such as a home living area, hired hall, or indoor venue) prior to the event.

Please note: cancellations due to weather within 3 days of the booking date are non-refundable, so we strongly encourage all hirers to have an indoor contingency plan in place when booking an outdoor or semi-outdoor space. If you're unsure whether your venue is suitable, we're always happy to advise.

A booking credit, valid for 6 months, may be offered for rescheduling your party.

How much space do I need?

We recommend a clear, flat area of at least 3m x 3m as a minimum, though more space allows us to set up a more immersive play experience. We'll always work with what you have and tailor the layout to suit your venue. Got questions about your space? Just ask us — we're happy to help you plan.

Is the equipment safe and clean?

Absolutely. The safety and wellbeing of every child at your party is our highest priority. All equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sanitised between every single hire, and we inspect each piece carefully before it leaves our care. As parents ourselves, we hold our equipment to the same standard we'd expect for our own child.

How do I get started?

Head to our either our Full Service Packages or our DIY Packages to choose a package, or contact us directly — we'd love to help make your child's party one you'll talk about for years (even if they won't quite remember it yet 😊).
