PLACES TO COFFEE WITH KIDS
All with great coffee and the obligatory piece of scrummy cake
Harris and Hoole, AmershamH+H is a busy, bustling high street coffee house with high ceilings and gorgeous vintage tiles has a great area at the back with a few toys for 0-2s to be entertained. It’s a great place for mums who are looking to feel like an adult again to spend time and yet have a small one in tow!

The Stay and Play, CheshamThis more intimate coffee house has the really homely feeling of stepping into someone’s parlor with the added bonus of some brilliant soft play climbing frames at the back. Ideally for 2-4s, but all ages are welcome, its £3 per child to play on the frame.

Twinkles Stay and Play Activity Café, Bourne EndRecently opened in September, this small but friendly café uniquely allows preschoolers to explore their creative side with a messy play activity table. My 4-year-old girl loved making a butterfly with the materials (glue, pens and paper) provided, whilst my 2-year-old boy was kept entertained by the numerous toys owned by the café.
