Kidsbury

We’re in love with these beautiful hand crafted toys that have been gifted to us by the wonderful Sophie, a local parent and the artist behind Hidden Hollow | Wooden Play

These incredible toys are right at home and ready for your imaginations in our cafe-play-corner.

The first day of school can be a funny one, can’t it?

You might be excited. Emotional. Relieved. Proud. Nervous. Completely fine. Not fine at all. Or somehow feeling all of those things at once. ❤️

Wherever you’re at, we want to say well done, you.

So, from 2nd–14th September, we’re offering parents a free coffee (or tea) on their child’s first day of reception. ☕️

Whether you’re bringing a younger sibling in to play, popping past on your way home, or just fancy sitting down for five minutes with a coffee and a chat - come and see us.

No expectations. No need to be having a wobble. No need to be absolutely fine either. Just a little coffee from us to you, because starting school is a big deal for parents too. 🥹❤️

Available to parents/full time guardians on their child’s first day of reception between 2nd–14th September. Just let us know it’s their first day when you order. Offer valid once per customer.

We’re squeezing in one last summer Sunday extended play session, to celebrate the last weekend of the holidays 😎

📆 Sunday 30th August
🕰️ 2pm to 4pm

Bookable on our website now. We’d love to see you there!

We’re hiring! 💛

We’re looking for a fun, highly personable crew member who’s full of get-up-and-go to join our small, family-run team on Saturdays, with the potential for extra shifts.

If you love working with children and families and think you’d be a great fit, we’d love to hear from you!

Send us a WhatsApp on 01892 570505 or email [email protected] for more information.

📅 Closing date: 8th August

13th July - 24th July - ON SALE NOW!!!!

Have questions? Comment below and we’ll do our best to answer them.

Just one week to go until our Big Hello sessions begin! 👋

We can’t wait to welcome you all and watch those first friendships start to form before September arrives.

Some sessions are now fully booked, lots are filling up nicely, and a few are still looking a bit quiet…

If your school’s session is showing green, we’d really appreciate your help spreading the word. Share this post, mention it to other parents, or pop it into any class or school WhatsApp groups you’re in.

Thanks for helping us fill the village with future classmates 💛

See you on Friday 👋

June tickets are on sale…. Please buy some. 

We’ll level with you: the sun came out and you all went outside. Completely reasonable. We’d have done the same. 

But, if you do find yourself inexplicably bored of nice weather - or if the kids need somewhere to burn some energy that isn’t your garden – we’re here. 

And we’ve upgraded the bribery. We’re now serving our beloved coffee in takeaway cups and we’re fairly confident, the best ice cream in Tunbridge Wells courtesy of the magnificent

So even if you don’t want to stay inside, you can still support our little business and make sure we’re still here for when the inevitable winter arrives.

Back once again with a few additions (and one lil change). If your kiddos are headed to Skinners, Bishop Chavasse or Sussex Road, this one’s for you!

Big Hello 2026

Reception 2026 Meet-Up Schedule is here!

We’re so excited to share our line-up of school meet-up sessions this year. Read on to see when your child’s future classmates will be coming to play!

These relaxed sessions are the perfect way for little ones to make early friendships, and for parents to meet others from the same school, all before September rolls around. Anything to make that first day feel a little less daunting!

Each session is just for the new Reception class at that school, so you’ll have the run of the place.

Last year, these sessions either sold out straight away or didn’t run at all! We’d love to make sure as many schools as possible can go ahead, so we’d really appreciate your help spreading the word. Share with families from your school, pop it into your Facebook and WhatsApp groups, and tell other parents you know.

Please note that our usual capacity limits apply, so we may not be able to accommodate every pupil in each class. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Tickets can be purchased on our website’s bookings page, by selecting ‘The Big Hello’.

We can’t wait to welcome you all!
