A brand new play cafe is coming to Gateshead!!
The new Kiddies Play Cafe will be opening it’s doors on Saturday 24th October 2020 and is welcoming families with a special event, including Storytime with Granny Glenis, a visit from Peppa Pig and kids activity packs on offer.
The cafe is designed to be an inclusive relaxed space for all, parents and non-parents, and has big plans for the future. Based on Felling High Street, Kiddies Play Cafe is part of the Holly Hill Business Enterprise, a collaboration bringing a number of local businesses all under one roof, including Roast from the Coast, Fudge-n-Treats, Sonja Anne Events, Cut ‘n Print Designs and PHX One Digital.
You can book a table for the opening event on 24th October and enjoy a homecooked meal, with great kids deals. There will be activity packs available to purchase, special guest Peppa Pig at 11am and 1pm, and storytime with Granny Glenis at 12pm and 2pm. Children are also welcome to bring their own toys to enjoy at their table. The Covid-secure cafe will have a hand sanitiser station at the entrance, limited capacity, table service and NHS track and trace in place.
The philosophy behind Kiddies Play Cafe is to offer a friendly, supportive environment, and to support people through the challenges of parenthood with no judgement at all. The team behind the cafe, Sonja and Chantal, have a background in early years education and previous experience in the popular cafe Tots Tea Rooms in Wallsend. They are drawing on their expertise and are in the process of developing a programme of regular activities and workshops, including hosting outside providers and special guests – such as the lovely resident storyteller Granny Glenis.
There are plans to offer activities and support across various stages of parenting, from kid’s classes including messy play and sensory sessions, to antenatal and postnatal sessions including breastfeeding support, plus a pre-pregnancy support network for people experiencing difficulties becoming pregnant.
The final stage of development (depending on Covid restrictions and guidelines) will see the downstairs area of the building being designated as a kid’s play space, with a selection of toys on rotation.
You can like their Facebook Page to keep an eye out for announcements on exciting new developments, and can call 07486 036 568 to book for the opening event on Saturday 24th October or for mid-week sessions from the 25th October.
