Today I had morning tea with my Grandparents at Westfield Carousel at Niche Cafe.

It was clean, spacious for prams/strollers and had high chairs (the Ikea kind that are easy to clean, don’t trap food and don’t have plastic that rips). It was reasonably priced, but the thing I liked the most was the enclosed play area right next to it! The sign on the gate says for ages 2 and up so I went in with Lucy (only 16mo) just to mind her around the older children (it is still school holidays). There are toys on the gates around the play space, structures to climb on and weave in and out of and generally a nice space to have a run in.

We had our morning tea first, then I took Lucy in to stretch her legs. The only downfall is how far away the parents’ room is – if I had an older child it would be too far away to leave them in there alone (and I probably wouldn’t anyway), The closest baby change is in the food court which I have reviewed before: http://damoandmel.com/2011/01/18/carousel-shopping-centre-parents-room/

For a catch up with a few mothers, I would definitely recommend coming to Niche Cafe and the little play space.
