Known as Rainbow House, this exclusive drop in is for pre-schoolers only. They can take an adult or two in with them, which I've found comes in handy for picking up the essentials: food, drink and a toy or book or two.
Essentially, Rainbow House is a baby cafe, with a range of seating for little bottoms including beanbags and highchairs and enough books and toys to keep any discerning baby or toddler happy. Long tables with adult seating ensures a sociable atmosphere and pushchairs line the walls. It's not a quiet, relaxing place, but more of a buzzy vibe, with plenty to do for toddlers - and plenty to watch for babies.
Food is cheap and basic: baked spuds, pizza, toasties - you get the picture. Available in adult or children's portions, it's cooked quickly and brought to your table. The volunteers who run the show do a good job of welcoming babies and adults alike. When it's not too busy, they always make a bit of a fuss of me, which is always welcome by a sociable young baby like me. Adults are asked to clear up a bit after themselves, and any little crumbs the babies might drop.
Baby changing is provided.
