Ice cream shop · Leicester
An ice cream spot in Leicester where you can walk in with the buggy and not have to fold it at the door — access is step-free, and there are high chairs if you'd rather have a child sat properly than balanced on your knee. There's a kids' menu, so smaller portions are already sorted, and gluten-free options if that's something you're working around. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually means a noisy toddler goes unnoticed. Handy for the middle of a day out when everyone needs a sit-down and something cold.
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.
Lively Leicester Italian with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — worth booking ahead.

Lively Leicester café with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and vegan and gluten-free options.
