Café · Reading
Weekday lunch with a toddler is the easy case here — high chairs are ready, there's a kids' menu, and free parking means you're not circling with a pram in the back. Step-free access gets you through the door without folding anything down, and the outdoor seating is useful when a small person needs to be loud or wriggly. Vegan and gluten-free options mean you're not the family quietly asking the kitchen for favours. It's a lively room, so nobody will notice a bit of noise from your table.
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.
