Cafés · Walton-on-Thames
A play café built around under-fives, with enough toys and equipment to keep a room full of small children busy from start to finish — and a bouncy castle that tends to be the thing they talk about afterwards. Parents aren't stuck standing at the edge of it either: there's tea and coffee, somewhere to sit, and the sense that you might actually relax for twenty minutes. Buggies get in fine, high chairs are there, and there's outdoor seating plus free parking, which matters when you're arriving with a car full of party bags. The team are quick to answer questions and unfussed about swapping food for dietary requirements — one parent found that took the stress out of planning a 4th birthday entirely. There's a kids' menu and vegan options. It's a popular spot for parties and playgroups, so check availability before you set off.
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.
