Dessert · Hartlepool
An ice cream stop is one of the easier things to say yes to with children in tow, and this one in Hartlepool comes set up for it — high chairs, a kids' menu, and step-free access so a buggy rolls straight in. Vegan and gluten-free options mean the child who can't have dairy or wheat isn't left watching everyone else eat. It's a lively spot rather than a hushed one, which takes the pressure off if your toddler is having a loud day. Good for a treat after school or a small birthday.

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.
