Cafés · Blyth
Two and a half hours in one session is what makes this such good value — long enough for a proper morning out rather than a rushed hour. The indoor play space is bright, airy and genuinely spotless, divided into sections so you can potter about without bumping into other families, and the toys are clean and laid out to tempt little ones in. In drier months the garden opens up with water trays and space to dig, though the outdoor equipment has taken a battering and shows some rust. Food comes quickly and is fresher than the usual play-café fare — the ham and cheese croissant and hot chocolate are a regular order — with dairy-free and vegan options, a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking. It's not the cheapest, and the song time at the end signals home time nicely. One parent calls it "peaceful and relaxed".
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.
