Craftea Leeds

Craftea Leeds Play, craft, eat! We believe in creating moments that work for the whole family. Everything is designed with care, comfort, and a friendly atmosphere at heart.
(1)

Craftea is a warm and welcoming role play cafe designed especially for young children to explore, imagine, and play in a safe and engaging environment. While the little ones dive into creative role play and hands on fun, adults can relax with a freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a calm, comfortable space to unwind. A place where children can learn through play and grown ups can take a well deserved pause. A little space for big imaginations and a cosy coffee break for you.

A little update from Craftea πŸ’›

I just wanted to give everyone a quick heads-up that, due to a new injury, I may occasionally need to make some last-minute changes to my usual sessions while I give myself time to rest and recover.

This means I might have to cancel some sessions, particularly if I need to take a morning to rest and avoid making things worse. I’m really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and I’ll always do my best to give as much notice as possible.

πŸ“± If you're planning to come along, please check that your session is going ahead before setting off.

If I do need to cancel a session, I will contact anyone booked in directly to let you know.

For the latest information and updates, please keep an eye on:

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and support while I navigate this little unexpected bump in the road. πŸ’›

I really appreciate you all! β˜•βœ¨

🚨 CLOSED TOMORROW 🚨

I was being a strong, independent woman, ripping up my manky living room carpet and taking it to the car to take to the tip...

…then went over on my ankle
…and promptly flew out the back door.

Turns out you can be a strong independent woman...
just not in flip-flops.

I've been checked out and I've fractured my ankle. I need to wear a wa**er boot for several weeks and keep it rested. Codine for me tonight!!!

So, sadly, the cafΓ© will be CLOSED TOMORROW.

β˜• The coffee will return soon but my schedule might have to change a bit to accommodate.

Sorry folks β€” see you soon! ❀️

✨ **Quiet Poetry Group with Zine-o-philia** ✨

Come along to our new **Quiet Poetry Group** at Craftea in Meanwood β€” a calm, welcoming space to write, share and discuss poetry with curious poets of all experience levels. πŸ“β˜•

**How does it work?**
The organiser will send out a series of prompts, usually combining a **poetical form and a theme**. You can use these prompts to write one or more poems β€” or completely ignore them and bring whatever you like!

If you'd like to share your work, email your poem(s) to: [email protected], preferably a couple of days before the meeting. You can also simply come along to listen, read, discuss and explore.

At the meeting, we'll read the poems aloud and discuss them **one by one, anonymously**, in a quiet, respectful and supportive way. You can choose to claim your poem at the end of its discussion. 🌿

πŸ“ **Craftea, Meanwood**
πŸ“… **17th October**
πŸ•› **12pm**

No poetry experience necessary β€” just curiosity.

Bring your own work, follow the prompts, or simply come and listen.

πŸ“© Email [email protected] if you're interested in attending or would like more information.

✨ Come write. Come listen. Come curious. ✨

A little reminder for parents and carers in our community β€” we really need your voice! πŸ’œ

If you haven’t completed our survey yet, please take a few minutes to share your experiences and views.

And if you’ve already completed it – thank you! ❀️ We’d still really appreciate you sharing the survey with other parents and carers who may not have seen it yet.

🎯 Our goal: 100 responses!

We’re collecting this information to better understand the experiences, needs and priorities of local parents and carers. The more responses we receive, the stronger our data will be when we look at potential funding opportunities and future services.

And, honestly… 100 responses makes the percentage calculations a LOT easier! πŸ˜‚πŸ“Š

🌱 What could this help us create?

One of the ideas I’d love to explore is funding for a community hub for families β€” something a little bit like CraftΓ©a.

A welcoming, safe space where children can play, explore and have fun, while parents and carers have somewhere they can relax, recharge and take a breather.

We all know how overwhelming and overstimulating a day with children can sometimes be. Having somewhere you can go where the kids are occupied, you're around other people, and you can simply sit down, have a coffee, take a breath and recharge your batteries could make a real difference.

The survey data will help us understand whether this is something local families actually need and want, what would make a space like this useful, and what support parents and carers would value most.

But first, we need the data! πŸ“Š

πŸ‘‰ Please complete our short survey here:
https://s.surveyplanet.com/k83kh2y5

It only takes a few minutes and your response could help us build a stronger case for future funding and support.

If you've already completed the survey, please share this email or the survey link with other parents and carers.

The more people we hear from, the better picture we'll have of what families in our community really need.

Help us reach 100 responses! 🎯

Thank you so much to everyone who has already taken part β€” and thank you to anyone who can spare a few minutes to help us make this happen. πŸ’œ

πŸŽ’πŸ’› STARTING GLEDHOW PRIMARY THIS SEPTEMBER? πŸ’›πŸŽ’

Is your little munchkin getting ready to start Gledhow Primary School this September? πŸ‘‹

Come along to our special Gledhow school starters play session and meet other children and families who will be starting school together! 🧸✨

πŸ“… Friday 21st August
⏰ 12:00–1:30pm
πŸ“ Craftea

It’s a great opportunity for children to:

🧸 Play and have fun together
πŸ‘‹ Make new friends before school starts
🏫 Meet other children who will be joining Gledhow
πŸ’› Start recognising some familiar faces before their first day

And for parents and carers, it’s a chance to meet other families, make connections and get to know one another before September.

These sessions can be especially helpful for children who haven’t attended nursery alongside other children moving up to Gledhow, giving them an opportunity to build confidence and familiarity before that big first day.

🎟️ Spaces are limited, so book your place now!

πŸ‘‰ https://craftealeeds.com/bookings/?ameliaEventId=2102

🏫 Starting another school?

If you know a large group of children starting at another school this September, I can arrange a private playdate for you all!

Get in touch and we can organise a special session for your group, giving the children a chance to play together and get to know their new classmates before September. πŸ’›

πŸ“© Just send me a message and I’ll see what we can arrange!

We’d love to welcome you and your little one! πŸŽ’βœ¨
