A new coffee shop opens in Crosspool at 8am on Monday morning.
Nest is located in the old Lounge @ Crosspool shop, next door to the Crosspool Pets and near the Sheffield-bound bus stop.
The owners are promising a new format, including fresh coffee and homemade cakes. The premises has been refurbished over the last few weeks.
To begin with, Nest opening times are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm; Saturday 9am-2pm.
Lounge @ Crosspool closed in June.
On Saturday 7 December between 10am and 2pm, Lounge at Crosspool will hold a home-made/hand-made sale.
On sale will be cakes, cards, baby clothes, gifts, jams, baby toys, candles and refreshments.
All money raised will be given to a local boy who is fighting life threatening illness.
Once Upon a Sensory Story will return to Lounge@Crosspool on Monday 28 October.
Children aged 5 and under are invited to come along and join in the interactive story session between 10 and 11am.
Sensory stories allow children to use all their senses whilst retelling a story. This time the group will be squishing blackberries, rustling leaves and playing with water as we help Harry Hedgehog prepare for winter.
The session will finish with the singing of autumn songs and a tasty snack. The cafe opens at 11am so you could stay for lunch too.
Places costs £5 per child and can be booked by texting or ringing 07725 228127 or by calling in at Lounge@Crosspool.
The organisers of Once Upon a Sensory Story invite all 0-5 year olds to come and join us in the telling of Going on a Bear Hunt on Tuesday 30 July from 2-3pm at Lounge @ Crosspool.
Sensory stories allow children to use all of their senses to help retell a story. For example, on the bear hunt the group will be running or crawling through swishy-swashy grass and paddling in the deep cold river, to name but two challenges.
Tickets cost £5 per child and include a snack and drink. Phone or text 07725 228 127 to book your place – hurry as places are limited and are selling fast.
A Crosspool club for toddlers who like to get messy – and parents who dare to let them – starts in June.
Messy Mangoes takes place at Lounge @ Crosspool on Mondays from 3 June between 1.30 and 2.30pm and lasts for six weeks.
Organiser Kate Hill, Crosspool Mum of two and founder of www.funmefit.com explained: “As a mum and a bit of a play promoter, I think it’s so important to let children get messy, have fun and socialise in a relaxed setting. The fact that we’ll be playing with fruit and vegetables, tasting them along the way is obviously a healthy twist! Sure it’ll be great fun for us mums too at Paula’s cafe!”
It’s for the under 4s and baby siblings are obviously free. A drink plus healthy snacks for toddlers are provided. It’s £3.50 per session per toddler and they’ll receive a little certificate and achievement folder at the end.
If you’re interested then book soon via messymangos@gmail.com or 07854 682323 as half the 10 places have been already taken.
A new cafe has opened in Crosspool in the unit previously occupied by Craft Angels on Sandygate Road.
The Lounge @ Crosspool tea room welcomed its first customers on Tuesday. They are serving beverages and light refreshments and will be open 8:30am-4pm during the week and 8:30pm-1pm on Saturdays. The cafe has good disabled access, baby changing facilities and is child friendly.
A new sign above the shop will be going up this week.
