Any child who loves to role play. We also have a designated area for babies in our Staffordshire Barge.

Yes, we love babies! 

We have built the baby barge play area which is placed at the centre of the village so that you and baby can see the rest of the village in action.

We also want to support our parents as much as possible in their parenting journey. We are breastfeeding and bottle feeding friendly and support those who are embarking on their weaning journey with their baby. We provide a limited amount of weaning spoons and bibs and there is even an option on our menu for homemade baby purees made from our veg or fruit of the day! 

We have plenty of high chairs and we have baby changing  facilities in the village

We run 2 sessions on off-peak days and 3 sessions on our peak days, so that we can provide as much fun as possible to more children. Click here for our opening times.
