🌿 Looking for somewhere a little calmer this summer?

If you’ve got a little one aged 4 and under, The Spotty Giraffe is the perfect place to escape the busy soft plays and the bigger children during the school holidays.

Our cosy play café is designed especially for younger children, giving them a safe space to explore, climb, play and build confidence while you enjoy a coffee and a catch-up.

We have to be honest – this week has been much quieter than we’d hoped. Like many small independent businesses, the summer holidays can be tough, and every visit really does make a difference to us.

So if you’re looking for somewhere relaxed over the holidays, we’d absolutely love to welcome you. Whether it’s for an hour of play, a coffee with friends, or somewhere for your little one to burn off some energy, we’d be so grateful for your support. 💛

📍 Under 4s only
☕ Fresh coffee, snacks & children’s meals
🧸 Safe, friendly and never overcrowded

See you soon! 🦒

Come and play with us today- £4.95 entry for the play area and £2.95 entry for the baby area. Walk in’s welcome ☕️

🤍 A little space just for our tiniest visitors… 👶

While our sensory room is having the finishing touches completed, we’ve created a dedicated Baby Zone for our non-walkers.

A calm, soft area where babies can:
✨ Explore sensory toys
🤍 Practise tummy time
🧸 Crawl, climb and discover
💛 Meet other little ones in a safe space

We know it can be difficult bringing babies to play cafés where bigger children are racing around, so we wanted to create somewhere they can enjoy at their own pace.

Our sensory room is still on the way, but we hope your little ones love this new addition in the meantime!

Who’s coming to give it a try? 🦒💛
