Proposal

Tiny Tribe Play Caf/e will be a welcoming and enriching space designed specifically for parents, caregivers, and children up to 4 years old. The primary function of the business is as a high-quality caf/e, serving premium coffee, refreshments, and a selection of food in a comfortable, family-friendly setting. In addition to its caf/e offering, Tiny Tribe Play Caf/e will feature a thoughtfully curated, age-appropriate play area, designed to enhance the experience for families with young children.The caf/e will be a vibrant hub where parents and caregivers can enjoy food and drink while socialising and connecting with others in a relaxed environment. Over time, the caf/e will introduce special events, workshops, and partnerships with local businesses, further reinforcing its role as a community-oriented caf/e and social space. While there is an element of play within the caf/e, the core business model and operations are centered around the provision of food and drink, aligning it with Class E use.Tiny Tribe Play Caf/e will not provide childcare; every child must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. The caf/e will operate from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Saturday, with private hire available on Sundays. A maximum of 20 children will be in the caf/e at any given time, with bookings required in advance. Sessions will run for 2 hours, allowing sufficient time for cleaning and reorganisation between groups to maintain a welcoming and hygienic environment.The only machinery in use will be a commercial coffee machine, coffee bean grinder, hot water boiler, and panini press?all of which will be housed securely behind the caf/e counter to prevent access by children. A locked entry area will also be in place to ensure that children cannot access the front door without an accompanying adult.
