Tinker Tots

A little world made for big imaginations

Tinker Tots is a play café created especially for children aged five and under. A colourful world where curious minds can explore, make believe and get busy doing very important things. And for the grown-ups? Good coffee, a comfy place to sit and the chance to enjoy the moment while they play.

Navy sofas with rainbow cushions, a wooden climbing arch and a baby play gym on a striped rug

The play area

There’s a lot to discover when you’re little.

A wooden spoon becomes a magic wand. The play kitchen serves the best cupcakes in Sheffield. A house becomes a shop, a theatre, a garage or a secret den with a very important password.

At Tinker Tots, we’ve created a space where children can follow their curiosity, invent their own games and see where play takes them.

No big agenda. Just plenty of room to do their thing.
