Play Cafe

Hi All! I been tinkering with the idea of opening a play cafe in the Morgan Hill area. Curious if there is a market for this in Morgan Hill and would love to get some feedback.

- What would be your ideal hours of operation?
- What’s a reasonable rate to charge?
- Any “must haves” for something like this?
- Are there any features that would set something like this apart from similar cafes?

Love to hear your feedback! ☺️

I think for me it would be good to have maybe just a closed off space where you can see the children play. There are a few cafes that I think have the right idea and that is Playcloud in Round Lake, even Neighborhood Children's museum in Round Lake, The Treehouse Play Cafe, and Indoor Playground in Kenosha. I don't know where your location would be, but I think it would be good to visit those places, maybe even talk to few moms. The Hangout in Libertyville is also a new mom operared place, although I don't think they serve anything at least yet.

A space for pre walkers. Lots of little play cafes don’t have an area for pre walkers which means toddlers can bump into or walk over the littlies.

A nice enclosed padded area for the babies would be nice. I’ve left two cafes early before because toddlers were too heavy handed when she was learning to walk x

Also Kid's Art & Cafe in Schaumburg. Those are just some of the places I've been.

I have had the same idea...I don't know where Morgan Hill is but we could deffo keep in contact and bounce ideas off each other. I've just started a soft play business for London n surrounding areas

wow congrats!! Was it hard to get started? Morgan Hill is in California (United States) ☺️

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️
