Our Toddler Cafe is open every Friday from 9:00am - 1:30pm during term time.

We serve affordable and healthy Vegan food for children and their grown-ups.

FREE Breakfast for Toddlers.

Age appropriate tables, chairs and a visual menu allow children to dine together and participate more fully in their mealtime experience, fostering curiosity and independence.

Our ‘Hot Food Friday’ Community Cooking scheme invites different members of the community to cook a vegan dish in our Kitchen each week. Families attending cafe pay a donation towards their meal to support the cost of ingredients and the wider work of the Bird Box.

With a closed loop ethos at the center of our vision, we will co-design our green spaces to meet the needs of local families with young children.

We will transform our front garden into a safe, sensory woodland garden for babies, toddlers and their families to explore and learn at their own pace.

Our back garden will become a vibrant community space for growing, learning, connecting and supporting the health and wellbeing of our families.
