Café · Newark
A café and bakery in Newark that's set up for children rather than merely tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, so you're not carving a portion off your own plate, and high chairs mean a baby has somewhere to sit. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if one of your children has to avoid wheat and you're tired of checking. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded and stashed by the door. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room.

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.
