Toddler Takeover is a dedicated weekly session at Left Bank Leeds, designed to give the youngest visitors and their carers a relaxed, welcoming space to explore at their own pace. Running every Monday morning for two hours, these sessions create a calm environment where babies and toddlers can play, discover, and enjoy the venue without the bustle of regular opening hours.
With activities and spaces tailored for the under-fives, this is an ideal opportunity for your little one to get hands-on experience in a setting that understands the needs of young children. Whether your toddler is taking their first steps or your baby is content to observe and play, there's room for everyone. The two-hour duration means you're not rushed, giving families time to settle in, have a snack if needed, and really make the most of the morning.
Sessions run throughout the year except during the Christmas period, making this a reliable weekly routine you can build into your calendar.
What to bring
- A change of clothes for your child, including spare trousers and tops in case of spills or accidents
- Nappies, wipes, and a small changing mat or pad if the venue doesn't provide facilities
- A snack and sippy cup or bottle for your child, even if refreshments are available
- A small toy or comfort item from home to help your little one feel settled if they're feeling overwhelmed
Top tips
- Arrive a few minutes after the session starts rather than right at opening time. This lets the space settle and gives staff a chance to welcome you properly without it being chaotic.
- Use the full two hours. There's no need to rush. Many parents find having a relaxed pace helps toddlers enjoy the activities more and actually tire them out for better naps.
- Ask staff which areas or activities are best suited to your child's age and development stage when you arrive. Toddlers develop quickly and what works for a one-year-old differs from a four-year-old.
- Check ahead if the venue offers parent refreshments or a quiet space to sit. Knowing what's available helps you plan your visit and whether to bring extra supplies.
