The ‘New to You’ Shop & Baby Bank

Our ‘New to You’ shop offers a huge range of fantastic value clothes from maternity to 5 years. There is also a great selection of toys, books, prams, cots and all the other baby items you could possible need! Our selection of new items offers great value and choice and makes perfect gifts.

We have an integrated Baby Bank with clothes and equipment bank that is accessible to all families within our “New to You” shop. There’s no charge for any of the items although donations are gratefully received.

Please get in touch if you wish to donate any items.

The Play Cafe

Our play cafe is specifically designed for under 5’s and for those with additional needs. Our family friendly menu caters for our smallest customers with our Tiny Tastes options and grown ups can also enjoy delicious lunches, sweet treats and hot and cold drinks. We are allergy aware so request that you don’t bring in your own food and drinks.

We have small dining tables and chairs as well as highchairs to encourage independent eating and our free play atmosphere encourages open ended play and role play.

The sensory room provides a calm, nurturing environment for your little ones to enjoy and is a very popular element of our wonderful cafe.

Parties and room hire

Our cafe is available to hire for parties and celebrations. You’ll have sole access to the entire play cafe for the duration and you can choose from a buffet style menu (£5.50 per child) or our popular children’s High Tea (£6.50 per child).

Booking in advance is recommended as spaces fill fast!

The back room is available for other local organisations to rent and is a popular choice for local children’s businesses as it’s a large, accessible space and competitively priced.
