Opening shortly in Portmore
Tiny U is an indoor playground and pretend town for children in Portmore and Kingston. They put the fire out, run the market, check the patient, and decide the whole thing themselves. No classes. No timetable.
Tiny U is an indoor playground in Portmore, laid out as a small high street rather than one big climbing frame. There is a fire station, a doctor’s office, and a market and bakery, each one a hut a child can walk into and take charge of.
Alongside the town there is a soft play area for the smallest visitors, and the Tiny Café, a proper sit-down space for the grown-ups with a clear view of every hut.
We are not a school and we do not run classes. Nobody stands over your child telling them what to do next. They pick a hut, they play, they move on when they are ready.
Counting change at the market, naming body parts at the doctor’s office, taking turns on the hose. Learning that happens because the play needs it.
No timetable, no instructor, no enrolment. Children choose where to go and how long to stay.
We charge for children only. Up to two adults may accompany each child at no charge.
Everyone past the sock station is in socks. It keeps the floor clean and the footing safe.
Free on-site parking, so you are not circling with a toddler in the back.
Each hut has its own colour. Children learn the place by colour long before they can read the sign above the door.
Helmets, jackets and a hose reel. The loudest hut in the town, and usually the first one a child runs to.
A waiting room, a scale, a chart and a doctor’s bag. Quieter than the rest, and the hut children take most seriously.
Baskets, a scale, a till and a tray of bread. Somebody sells, somebody shops, and the roles swap every few minutes.
Padded, enclosed and low to the ground. Kept separate from the town so crawlers are not caught in the traffic.
Proper coffee, cold drinks and a small food menu, with lounge seating arranged so you can hold a real conversation and still see every hut.
Car seats, carriers and nursery essentials from Baby Cres, in the building. Shop while they play, instead of making a separate trip with a toddler in tow.
Shoes off, socks on, bags in the cubbies. Forgot yours? We sell Tiny U play socks here in child and adult sizes.
Rates are being finalised and will be published before we open. Register your interest below and we will send them to you first.
Come in, play, leave when you are ready. Run of the pretend town and the soft play area, with a parent or guardian staying on site throughout.
For the gym run, a medical appointment, or an errand you cannot do with a toddler on your hip. Leave your little one with our team for up to two hours and come back for them when you are done.
You bring: diapers, a change of clothes, drinks and snacks for the full two hours. We cannot accept a drop-off without them.
Collection is timed. There is a ten-minute grace period after your two hours. Beyond that, a late-collection charge applies for every five minutes, or part of five minutes, until your little one is picked up.
In Korea, a child’s first birthday ends with doljabi: a row of objects is set in front of the baby, and whichever one they reach for is said to point at the life ahead of them. A stethoscope for a doctor. A coin for wealth. Thread for a long life.
Tiny U is already a town full of jobs, so we run it properly, on a low table, with the whole room watching, and the object your child picks tied to one of our huts. The photograph of that moment is the one the family keeps.
A private room for birthdays, with run of the town and soft play for your guests. The play floor stays open to the public during parties.
Most play centres give parents a plastic chair and a vending machine. We would rather you actually enjoyed the two hours. Real coffee, proper seating, and somewhere you can finish a conversation. No booking needed.
A Baby Cres retail corner inside the building, car seats, carriers and the nursery things you always mean to replace and never get round to.
Child drop-off runs within our normal opening hours. Anything outside 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is by prior arrangement only and is charged at a higher rate.
We have not published rates yet. They will be announced before opening, and everyone who registers below gets them first, along with the opening date.

Prefer to talk? Call 876-863-2451 or email info@tinyujamaica.com.
We are taking party dates now, ahead of opening. Birthdays land on the same weekends every year, and the good ones will go quickly once we announce.
Tell us your child's birthday and roughly when you would like the party. We will come back to you with a date to hold, before any of it goes public.
We have emailed you a confirmation. We will be in touch with a date to hold as soon as the calendar opens, ahead of any public announcement.
The floor stays open during parties. Booking the party room reserves the room, not the building. If you want the whole play floor to yourself, exclusive use can be added to any party booking for an additional charge, tell us when you enquire, as it has to be scheduled around public sessions.
Every one of these exists because of something that can actually go wrong. Staff will ask you to follow them, and will ask anyone who won’t to leave.
For ordinary play sessions a parent or guardian aged 18 or over stays on site and keeps their child in sight throughout. Our staff run the floor; they are not minders. This is different from a booked drop-off.
During a booked drop-off our staff take responsibility for your child for the agreed two hours. You must be contactable on the number you give us and able to return within a reasonable time if we call.
Children and adults both. No bare feet, no outdoor shoes, no stockings alone. The flooring is non-slip and works with socks; bare feet and smooth soles do not.
Please stay home if anyone in your group has a fever, a rash, a cough, or has been sick in the last 24 hours. Tell us and we will move your booking with no penalty.
No peanuts or tree nuts, in anything, brought in or eaten on site, including in the snacks you pack for a drop-off. Check the label before you pack it.
Children still in the potty-training stage should be in a diaper or pull-up for the whole session. Changing facilities are by the toilets.
Leave them in the stroller bay at the sock station. The town aisles are narrow and children move fast through them.
Soft play is for ages 0–4. Older children playing in it, however gently, is the most common way small ones get hurt, so we do ask them to move on.
Climbing on hut roofs, throwing equipment, or pushing. Tell any staff member if something makes you or your child uncomfortable and we will deal with it.
Tiny U is an alcohol-free premises. We do not serve it, and it may not be brought in , not for parties, not for private events, not at any time. Smoking and vaping are prohibited throughout, inside and out.
A child left with us is released only to the person who dropped them off, or to a named person you have given us in advance. We will ask for identification.
Photograph your own child freely. Please do not photograph or film other people’s children, and do not post anything with them in it.
Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. We are closed on Sundays. On public holidays we open 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Rates are being finalised and are not published yet. We charge for children only, adults come in free, up to two adults per child, and the rate is the same on weekdays and weekends. Register your interest and we will send you the full rates before we open.
For ordinary play sessions, yes. Tiny U is an unsupervised play facility, which means our staff run the space but do not mind individual children. If you need to leave your child with us, book the two-hour drop-off instead, that is a supervised service.
Everyone past the sock station, children and adults. Outdoor shoes stay in the cubbies. If you forget, we sell Tiny U play socks at the door in child and adult sizes.
The pretend town suits roughly ages 2 to 10. Soft play is for ages 0 to 4 and is kept separate so crawlers are not in the traffic. Older children are welcome in the town but are asked to stay out of soft play.
Yes, free parking on site.
Not onto the play floor or into the café seating. There is a stroller bay at the sock station. The aisles between the huts are narrow and children move through them quickly.
Portmore & Kingston, a few minutes from Portmore town centre and an easy run from Spanish Town and Kingston.
A short-stay service for parents who need both hands free, a gym session, a medical appointment, an errand you cannot do with a toddler. You leave your little one with our team for up to two hours while you get on with your day. They are fed, changed and cared for the whole time, and we will have them ready when you are back.
Two hours maximum per booking. It is a short-stay service, not day care, and we do not extend beyond two hours.
Between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the days we are open. Drop-off outside those hours is possible by prior arrangement and is charged at a higher rate.
Diapers, a change of clothes, and enough drinks and snacks to cover the full two hours. We cannot accept a drop-off without them. Everything must be nut-free and clearly labelled with your child's name.
There is a ten-minute grace period after your two hours. After that, a late-collection charge applies for every five minutes, or part of five minutes, until your little one is picked up. Do call us if you are held up, it does not waive the charge, but it means we can reassure your child.
Only you, or a person you name in writing when you drop off. We will ask that person for identification. We will not release a child to anyone else, whatever the circumstances.
We will call you. If your child is distressed and cannot be settled, we will call you and ask you to come back for them, and we will not charge for the time they did not stay.
Sealed water bottles, baby food and formula are always fine, and drop-off children must arrive with their own snacks and drinks. Otherwise the Tiny Café serves hot and cold drinks and a small food menu, and we ask you to buy on site rather than bring meals in.
Yes. Nothing containing peanuts or tree nuts may be brought in or served, including spreads, snack bars and baked goods. Please read the label before you pack anything.
No food or drink past the edge of the play floor, water included. Everything is eaten in the Tiny Café seating. It keeps the flooring clean and keeps allergens in one place.
A Baby Cres retail corner inside the building, selling car seats, carriers and nursery essentials. Staff can fit a car seat properly before you leave. It is open whenever Tiny U is open, so you can handle the thing in person instead of ordering it blind.
Yes, a small number in the café, first come first served.
No. Tiny U is alcohol-free. We do not serve it and you cannot bring your own, including for private parties. The Tiny Café does coffee, fresh juices, cold drinks and a small food menu.
It is the Korean first-birthday tradition. Objects are laid out in front of the one-year-old, thread for a long life, a coin for wealth, a book for scholarship, a stethoscope for medicine, and the one the child reaches for is said to hint at the life ahead. It is the centrepiece of a Korean dol celebration, and the moment every camera in the room is pointed at.
On a low table in the party room, with our staff setting out the objects and guiding the moment so the family can watch instead of running it. We use traditional objects alongside ones from our own town, a fire helmet, a stethoscope, a baker’s scale, so the pick connects to a hut your child can then go and play in.
Yes, and many families want to, an heirloom, a stethoscope from a parent who is a nurse, something from home. Show them to us beforehand so we can check they are clean and safe for a one-year-old to handle.
No. We offer it because it is a lovely piece of a first birthday and it fits a town built around jobs. We run it as the tradition intends and we say where it comes from. Any family is welcome to it.
Not yet, the room is still being built. Join the waitlist and we will contact you before dates are released publicly.
Yes. Exclusive use of the play floor can be added to any party booking for an additional charge. It has to be scheduled around public sessions, so tell us early.
No. A standard party booking reserves the party room, and party children have run of the town and soft play alongside other guests.
Yes. The birthday child and any siblings over 12 months count toward the number of children in the package.
Table decorations, weighted balloons and a free-standing backdrop are fine. No confetti, streamers, piñatas or glitter. Nothing may be taped to walls, doors or windows.
At least seven days before the date, so we can order supplies and staff the room correctly.
