Colne – October 20, 2026 – As concerns around screen use among young children continue to grow, Raynes Baby World is encouraging parents to make active, screen-free play easier to incorporate into everyday family life with baby soft play equipment designed for the home.
The issue has moved firmly into the national spotlight following new UK Government recommendations for children under five. 24 percent of parents of three to five-year-olds find it difficult to control their child’s screen time, while 98 percent of two-year-olds watch screens every day.
The UK Government advises avoiding screen time for children under two, other than shared activities that encourage interaction and conversation. For children aged two to five, parents are advised to try to keep screen use to no more than one hour a day. The expert panel also found that extended solo screen use can displace sleep, physical activity, creative play, and interaction with parents and carers.
For families looking for alternatives, Raynes Baby World offers baby soft play and soft play sets for toddlers that can help turn part of the home into an accessible active-play environment. Its range of soft play equipment in the UK includes climbing shapes, steps, slides, tunnels, and other modular pieces that encourage children to move, explore, and create their own play.
Adam Synclair, Owner of Raynes Baby World, said, “For many parents, reducing screen time is not simply a question of switching a television or tablet off. They also need something fun and engaging to replace it with. Having home soft play equipment gives children an opportunity to climb, crawl, balance, and explore, while parents have an activity they can return to throughout the day without having to plan a trip out.”
Families can also explore cloud climber soft play, step and slide soft play, castle blocks soft play, hoop step and slide set, and ball pools for toddlers to build play spaces around their available room and children’s needs.
Raynes Baby World was established during the 2020 national lockdowns with the original aim of bringing the soft play centre experience into people’s homes. The business has since expanded to supply both domestic and commercial customers, with ranges spanning soft play, ball pools, bouncy castles, play cages, fibreglass slides, and equipment for soft play hire businesses.
Synclair added, “Screen-free play does not need to mean creating a complicated schedule for children or finding a new activity every hour. Our approach is about giving families equipment that can become part of everyday play at home. A child can use the same pieces differently as their confidence and imagination develop, whether they are building a course, climbing, sliding, or simply exploring movement. We want to help parents make active play convenient, enjoyable, and realistic for modern family life.”
Parents wanting to create a larger personalised setup can use the Raynes Baby World soft play bundle option. Customers can create their own Softplay Bundle by selecting two or more items and receive 10% off their order, with free shipping available to Mainland UK on orders over £50.
Parents and carers looking for ways to introduce more active play at home can explore the Raynes Baby World range and build a soft play setup suited to their child, space, and family routine.
