School House Café
Golden Slice Outstanding cake
Cafe with good food, great cake, and a safe play room for babies and toddlers.
This place is not just a cafe, it’s a vibrant community hub and great place for a bite to eat. There are three main rooms, the cafe, the main school hall and a side room which is home to the play room.
Lots of toys and comfy sofas in the play room, and a baby gate on the door makes it the perfect place to let your little one crawl and play, or toddle and play. The sofas are sometimes a little too comfy if you’re doing the sleep deprived bit of keeping your tiny humans happy, don’t go to sleep!
They’ll bring any food and drinks you order to the play room so you don’t have to manage a baby, coffee and cake.
There are often activities on in the main hall including a regular toddler group on a Monday morning and crafts, lego events for kids. Keep an eye on their website / socials.
E had her very first go on a slide here so it’s a special place for us!
