🌱 What a first week of Play & Explore: Your Way! 🌱

A HUGE thank you to every family who has come through our doors this week. 🥹

We’ve seen our spaces filled with little ones playing, exploring, making friends, grown ups enjoying a brew, having some food and simply spending time together.

But more than anything, hearing that Roots To Bloom is becoming part of your family’s routine has honestly meant the world to us. 💚

Knowing that you’re choosing to spend part of your week with us, that your little ones are excited to come back, and that Roots To Bloom is becoming somewhere you feel comfortable, connected and at home…

It’s given us hope. 🌱

Hope that we’re creating the little village we always dreamed of. A place where families can come as they are, meet others, feel less alone and simply have somewhere that feels like theirs.

We’re still finding our feet, especially with our new fundraising café and longer running hours, so thank you for your patience, kindness and support while we grow.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 💚

Week one has reminded us exactly why we started Roots To Bloom in the first place. 🥹🌱

Here’s to many more cups of tea, sensory play, friendships, laughter and memories made together. ✨

🤎At 1pm today, our Community Table will be running alongside our usual Play & Explore: Your Way session. 🌱

The Community Table is open to EVERYONE in our community — you don’t need to have children or be attending Play & Explore to join us.

It’s simply a welcoming space to:
☕ Grab a brew
💬 Have a chat
👋 Meet somebody new
🌱 Feel a little more connected to your community

Come on your own, bring a friend, stay for ten minutes or stay a while. There’s no pressure and nothing formal — just pull up a chair. 💛

Our little ones can continue to play and explore as normal, while anyone from the wider community is welcome to pop in and join the table in the Bloom Room.

🌱 Community Table
🕐 Today from 1PM
💛 Suggested donation £2
☕ Drinks & treats available from our fundraising café

Because Roots to Bloom is about more than play — it’s about reducing isolation and helping our community find their village. 🌱

DAY 3… and you lot certainly kept us busy! 🥹🌱

We were FULLY BOOKED today AND SOLD OUT of food! 🤯☕️🍰

I wasn’t actually meant to be at Roots today, but when we saw how busy it was going to be, I had to come in and give Sian a hand! And although it was slightly chaotic at times, I absolutely LOVE seeing Roots this busy. 🥰

Families playing, little ones exploring, grown-ups having a chat over a brew, people stopping for some food… this is exactly what we wanted Roots to become. 🥹

Thank you SO much to everyone who joined us today, and especially for your patience while we get used to running our fundraising café and our new ‘Play & Explore: Your Way’ format.

We’re only on DAY 3, so we’re learning as we go — including the very important lesson that we apparently need a LOT more food and to remember to write down table numbers! 😂

Honestly, seeing the space so full of life makes all the hard work worth it. 🌱💚

Thank you for supporting our little CIC and being part of our village.

What a day! 🫶

A little Wednesday update 💛

We’ve had a few messages from people who are a little confused about what Wednesdays look like, so we wanted to clear things up!

📅 TOMORROW – Wednesday 9th September

👶 Newborn Nook | 9:30am–10:45am
Our FREE relaxed session for grown-ups and their newborns (under 6 months) to come along, meet other parents, form friendships and help reduce those feelings of isolation. 🤍

🌱 Play & Explore: Your Way | 11:15am–2:00pm

You may notice that Bookeo currently says Play & Explore is only 1 hour 15 minutes. Please ignore this! Your booking gives you access anytime between 11:15am and 2:00pm.

We’re aware this needs changing, but because people have already booked onto the session, we can’t seem to amend it without cancelling existing bookings. 😅 We’re going to try and get this sorted tonight for next week!

FROM NEXT WEDNESDAY, our usual Wednesday timetable will hopefully be:

👶 9:15am–10:30am — Newborn Nook
FREE for grown-ups and babies under 6 months.

🌱 11:00am–2:00pm — Play & Explore: Your Way

One little thing we do ask on Wednesdays is for your patience and kindness. 💛 Sian runs Wednesdays on her own while I have a day with my littlest one, so things may occasionally take a little longer than when we’re both there.

Thank you so much for bearing with us while we settle into our new way of running Roots. We’re learning what works best as we go, and we’re so grateful to have you along for the journey. 🌱💚

🥹 THE FIRST REVIEWS ARE IN…

Yesterday we launched our brand new Play & Explore: Your Way 🌱 and we’ve already had some absolutely lovely feedback! 💛

We’ll admit, changing something that families already know and love was a little nerve-wracking 😅 but we really wanted to create a more relaxed way to enjoy Roots.

Come when it suits you.
Stay as long as you like.
Explore at your own pace.
Join in with activities throughout the day.
Grab a cuppa. ☕
And simply… do Roots your way. 🌈

So seeing feedback like this after our very first day means the WORLD to us. 🥹

Thank you to everyone who’s supported the change, visited us, shared our posts and continued to believe in our little CIC.

We think we might be onto something here… 👀💛🌱

Day 2… and another busy one! 🥹🌱

We’re honestly so happy to see so many of you coming through our doors and enjoying our new Play & Explore: Your Way days 💛

Seeing the rooms full of little ones playing, exploring, joining in with activities (or doing completely their own thing!) and grown-ups getting a chance to chat is exactly what we wanted this new chapter of Roots to feel like.

Thank you SO much to everyone who has visited us over our first two days back, supported our little CIC, bought a coffee or cake, shared our posts or told somebody about us. 🫶

We’re building our little village again… and it feels good. 🌱

Day 2 ✔️ Another busy one ✔️

🌱 A little look at today at Roots… 💛

Play, exploring, creating, chatting, coffee drinking and lots of little moments in between 🥹

We absolutely LOVE seeing our new Play & Explore: Your Way days coming to life — children choosing where they want to play, joining in with activities when they fancy it and families being able to relax and enjoy Roots at their own pace - we have lots of positive feedback so far, thank you 🫶

And, of course, our new fundraising café was open too ☕️🍰 — because playtime is always better with coffee and a slice of Sian’s homemade cake 😋

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us today. This is exactly what we want Roots to be…

A place to play. A place to connect. A place to belong. 🌱💛

Here’s a little peek at what we got up to 📸👇

07/09/2026

☕️🍰 OUR FUNDRAISING CAFÉ IS OPEN! 🍰☕️

You can now grab yourself a proper cuppa while your little ones Play & Explore: Your Way 🌱

☕ Cappuccino
☕ Latte
☕ Espresso
🫖 Tea
🤎 Decaf available
🌾 Oat milk available

And don’t forget to treat yourself to some of Sian’s yummy homemade cake too! 😋🍰

The best bit? Every purchase from our café helps to fundraise for Roots To Bloom CIC 💛

So while you’re enjoying your coffee and cake, you’re also helping us continue providing an affordable, welcoming space for local children and families. 🫶

Little treats that make a BIG difference to our little CIC. 🌱

Thank you for supporting your village 💛☕️🍰
