Breakfast · Nottingham
A quiet café and bakery is a gift when you're out with small children and everyone's tired — you can settle in over a weekday morning coffee without feeling like you're managing a scene. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you packing lunch or improvising, and gluten-free options mean one less thing to negotiate if someone in the family avoids wheat. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward rather than a two-person job. At around ££ in Nottingham, it's an easy, low-stress breakfast or lunch stop.
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.
