Soft play party - what's the best time?

[McAvennie]

Would you prefer to go to a party at 10am or 3.30pm on a Sunday with your 4/5 year old?

I'm looking at an exclusive hire which has minimum numbers of 22 kids so really want to choose the right time we're likely to get max attendance.

We did 10.30 for my 4yo on a Sunday. It worked really well

I'd pick 10am definitely. Nobody wants an overtired child on a Sunday evening!

I'd prefer 10am, but either would be ok

Morning slots can clash with sports clubs, especially for older siblings.

10, then you've got afternoon free

See this is a bonus for me, party to entertain dd whilst ds is playing sport

Its a problem when you can't physically be in two places at once.. so single parents, one parent at work, or one car...

@PuttingDownRoots I had this but I'd enlist someone else taking their kid, would arrange a play date for sibling , or take them with with party givers knowledge and PAY FOR THEM.
OP you can't please everyone but I'd say morning is better.

I'd pick 10am for the party.

Nobody wants a sugar hyped 4/5yo on a Sunday evening. Seriously.

Hope the party goes well.

Either would be fine.

10!

My preference would be morning.

Preference is always a morning

We went to a morning one recently and it was brilliant. Pre-nap, no need for food and stressing about them eating at all/enough/too much, just cake and juice and the play party. Back home by lunchtime and ready for a nap. Loved the morning slot, it is the future of parties for us!!

Yeah we went for the 10am in the end and it worked out perfectly, so would definitely pick that one again. Thanks for everyone's advice!
