Café · Blackburn
Chaiiwala in Blackburn does karak chai and South Asian street-food style café plates, and there's a kids' menu so children aren't stuck picking at a side. High chairs are on hand for babies and toddlers, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without the doorway shuffle. Vegan and gluten-free options are marked, which helps if one of your children eats differently from the rest. It's a lively spot rather than a hushed one, so a noisy toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
