Overview
Come and enjoy a relaxed 90-minute Stay & Play session at Thrive Play Café – a calm, welcoming space designed especially for babies and young children aged 0–4 years.
Our sessions are intentionally kept small, with numbers limited, so there's room to play, explore and make new friends while you can always keep your child within sight. Enjoy a carefully selected range of toys, imaginative role-play areas and age-appropriate activities in a safe, cosy environment. While little ones play, parents and carers can unwind with a freshly made barista coffee. Sweet treats, light lunches and children's snacks are available to purchase from our café.
