The Story of Little Leapers

Hey hey! Thanks for coming and exploring Little Leapers- soft play hire.

Who are the team behind Little Leapers?

I'm Jess, a proud mum to my two Little Leapers, Greta and Oscar. As we are a family-run business, you might occasionally spot them helping out with setting up and packing down. I’m thrilled to run Little Leapers alongside my husband, Jeremy! I’ll be your main point of contact, whether through phone or email (usually after hours), and I’m always happy to help. During the week, I work as an environmental consultant, and Jeremy is in the building supplies industry. While Little Leapers is currently focused on weekends, we are happy to accommodate mid-week events with advance notice—just let us know, and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

Why Little Leapers?

We launched Little Leapers in 2025, following a spontaneous decision! Although we first considered starting a soft play business back in 2023, it took us two years to finally bring the idea to life. When planning Greta's 1st birthday, we realised there weren't many options for mess and fuss-free entertainment for children in South Canterbury.  We are excited to bring fun, open-ended play to your special events. Soft play encourages physical activity, develops motor skills, promotes social interaction, and offers a safe, stimulating space for exploration and imaginative play. And of course—it's a lot of fun!!

We absolutely love seeing the joy on our kids' faces when they discover the soft play and ball pits, and we’re confident your children will be just as excited! We’ve got big plans for Little Leapers, so be sure to stay tuned for all the updates and join us on this exciting journey. Our goal is to celebrate our little ones in the most fun and memorable way possible!

We can't wait to be a part of your next special event! Let us take care of the mess and fuss, providing fun and hassle-free entertainment for your Little Leaper’s celebration.
