We have visited Bea's place a couple of times now and both times it has been just lovely. My 4 and 2 year old absolutely loved it, and it was great that they could access everything independently, meaning I could have a HOT coffee! The dream!! Both times it has been a lovely and calm atmosphere, with super friendly staff. You have got it all spot on at Bea's place, keep doing what you are doing. We'll be back again!

What a lovely addition to the town centre. Somewhere else to take little ones, to explore expand their imagination. Great choice of toys, role play Kitchen, DRs, Shop etc and a sensory room. We will definitely be heading back for more play session!

Worth every penny! This is a gem of a find! Extremely high quality varied educational toys for a range of ages, beautiful set up, fantastic service and reasonably priced tasty food. Couldn’t ask for more! This was my second visit and as a mum of a nearly 5 year old and 4 month old I struggle to find something to cater to both ages but this is just perfect!!! It’s safe, it has a comfy sofa near baby area for breastfeeding which is a huge win, the sensory room is delightful and an oasis of tranquility. The baby change upstairs is spacious, very well equipped with a comfy feeding chair too. I love that they provide cheeky wipes as well as it’s very eco conscious. Every aspect of this place is so incredibly well thought out. I met the owner on my first visit and was so touched by the story behind it. I have also found the food to be healthy and nutritious and reasonably priced. The weaning plates are ace! The staff were so caring, professional and attentive. My daughter fell over and slightly grazed herself (completely her own fault) and they gave her a plaster and completed an accident log. They are very attentive and supportive. I’m so happy to have found this place. I will be recommending it to all my friends. I am unsure if they do a loyalty card but I will ask on my next visit as I think I will rack up a few. I just wish I could have another Bea’s place in Chester! Thank you for providing such a wonderful, safe, clean, educational place for children which is also a breath of fresh air for mums. I am sure it is no mean feat but I can assure you the little ones (and their big ones!) appreciate it so much!

My toddler and I absolutely love it here. There are a wide range of toys to suit the different ages that Bea’s place targets and my child could definitely be here for hours if we could! Having the time slots means that it’s not as crowded which is great because it means there’s less chance of having limited space to play and less chance he gets overwhelmed. The yuck buckets for dirty toys are a great idea and makes me feel reassured at the cleanliness which leads me on to say how clean it is in there too. The no shoes helps massively again with the cleanliness and it’s so reassuring. There is a wide range of food and drink on offer for both adults and children of all ages which is great - delicious too!! The paninis are a particular highlight as is the coffee. Toddler always loves a picky plate. Most people that are regular here aim to not have a pram or fold it away due to space but it’s really not a huge problem when people are mindful of each other. Everything is available in the loos with nappies, breast pads, feeding equipment, wipes…everything! It really is our favourite space and my son will always ask to go to “Bea’s cafe” whenever we walk by.

Bea's place is a lovely addition to Northwich and Steph is such a friendly and nice person. The play space is great with a wide variety of toys for your kids to play with. I took my 3 year old and we spent a couple of hours there having a coffee, playing dress up, shops, doctors and with the dolls house. Its a great space for toddlers and babies. The baby area is also ideal for parents to sit and relax and not worry about your baby. It's a nice low risk space for babies, which is perfect. Food and drinks are incredibly priced and cater well for families. It's probably the cheapest, nicest and most relaxed coffee you can have in Northwich with kids. Don't read too much into other reviews, it's easy to knock a business but I'm sure that once Bea's Place finds it's groove, it's going to be even better. They care and that's what matters. I know I'll be returning with my daughter and I hope others find enjoyment in Bea's Place too. We need a place like Bea's, for all the parents of Northwich.

I have used Bea’s place on a few occasions now and both myself and my little boy have loved it! Most recently I have taken advantage of their crèche service to be able to attend some unmoveable appointments and my boy has LOVED being there. The staff are so great, so welcoming and I know I am leaving my son in good hands for an hour or two when I need it most. Lovely atmosphere, great selection of toys for all ages, nice food and drinks and just overall very lucky to have this in Northwich!

A great place to take babies and toddlers a very calming environment making it unique from other play cafes. Very clean with lots of processes in place to keep it this way. Beautiful toys that seem to regularly change having now been a couple of times. Would thoroughly reccomend!
