  • 90-minute sessions from £6
  • Mon–Fri · 9:30am – 5pm

The Dreami difference

A beautifully designed play café where children aged 0–6 can explore, imagine and connect through open-ended play — everything curated with care, from Montessori-inspired toys to bilingual storytelling and creative activities.

Bilingual Storytelling

French–English story times and a bilingual environment that gently introduces little ears to a second language.

Montessori-Inspired Play

Curated, open-ended toys and creative activities. Children learn through play, at their own pace.

Safety First

Hygiene, safety and comfort are at the heart of everything we do — from clean play zones to allergy-conscious snacks.

Coffee Worth Staying For

A space designed for parents too — comfortable seats, proper coffee, and a moment to actually breathe.

Memories That Last

Our parties are more than a moment — from themed decorations to optional digital invites and keepsake crafts.
