About this place
A warm, welcoming café and play space in Chapel Allerton designed for babies and young children. The Calf Shed offers relaxed stay-and-play sessions, themed activities, and playful learning experiences that support early development through imaginative and sensory play.
Parents can enjoy a coffee and a breather while little ones explore a safe, engaging environment — with both indoor and outdoor play areas available.

Perfect for:
Babies, toddlers & preschoolers
Casual drop-ins or planned sessions
Parents looking for a relaxed, social environment
💡 Sproggo tip: Ideal for those “we need to get out the house but keep it easy” kind of days.
