About us

Hi, thanks for stopping by! 

I'm Jenna, a little bit about me (I promise to keep it short)…I have lived in Devon my whole life, with periods of ‘testing’ other places, but I’ve always come back. It’s a special place; I love the moors and the beaches we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep. I now feel so blessed to be able to bring our family up here too.

I qualified in 2009 as a primary school teacher and currently work part time in a lovely village school. I live with my partner Joe who is a builder (yes he’s quite handy!) and he is as ever, hugely supportive. None of this would be possible without him, he is the most patient person I know and supports me to pursue my dreams…not just with this play café, but in life. 

In July 2021, we had our beautiful son called Louis and then our daughter, Lillia completed our family in March 2024, they are our absolute world! To be honest, Louis is probably the main reason for jumping in to this ‘not so little’ adventure. We had been to A LOT of 'play' spaces and never found one that ticked all our boxes...so we had to create somewhere that did! I am sure you will meet them on your visits as they both love hanging out and playing in the café too. 

I love the Montessori approach to play and we aim to provide a space that promotes independence through play, sparked by curiosity but feeling like home. We strive to create a cosy and friendly environment where you feel safe and welcomed to relax and play. 

We can't wait to see you soon.

Love Jenna, Joe, Louis & Lillia x
