Kids Party Hire in Nottingham That Grows with Them
A toddler's birthday party and a 12-year-old's celebration usually need
very different entertainment. That is why we have split our children's
party hire into options that are particularly popular for younger children
and options that work especially well for older children and teens.
The age groups below are a helpful starting point rather than strict
limits. Always check the individual product information for user
requirements, sizes and suitability before booking.

Which Party Entertainment Is Right for Their Age?
The younger and older sections above are intended as a helpful guide
rather than strict age restrictions. Children's development, confidence
and the individual attraction all affect suitability. As a general guide,
our children's bouncy castles are designed for children up to around 12,
and our standard soft play for children up to around 5.
Our larger inflatables, adult bouncy castles, rodeo attractions and
competitive games are particularly popular for parties from around age 10
upwards. Rodeo riders must be at least 1.2m tall and able to mount the
equipment unaided.
Always check the individual product page before booking for recommended
user information, dimensions and any specific requirements.
Children's Parties at Home or at a Venue
Whether you're planning a smaller garden party or hiring a venue for a
bigger celebration, we can help you choose equipment that suits the space.
Garden Birthday Parties
Bouncy castles, games and inflatable attractions are popular for garden celebrations where there is suitable outdoor space, access and real grass to set up on.
Hall & Venue Parties
Soft play, bouncy castles, games and selected inflatables work brilliantly in indoor venues. Check the floor space and ceiling height, or browse our venue directory.
Toddler & Preschool Parties
Soft play, ball pools and younger children's inflatables can create a dedicated activity area suited to smaller party guests.
Older Children's Birthdays
