I would like to thank everyone for their love and support for our little venture. As we all know this year hasn't quite gone to plan for anyone and so we have made the decision that Hahndorf Come and Play will not re-open at its current location.

It's been a wonderful experience and one i will never forget. I learnt alot, and whilst it was short it definitely was sweet.

Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing any of our play equipment. Whilst i love it all its a shame to see it not being utilised to its fullest potential.

Thank you and good bye,

Sam, Troy and Family ###

• RE- OPENING IN SPRING •

After much deliberation we are happy to announce that we will be re-opening our GENERAL ENTRY from Sunday the 27th of September.

We have decided to wait until spring because of a few reasons...
#1 - Unfortunately as we weren't open long before this crazy time hit we were not eligible for any of the jobkeeper, or government grants to support and retain some of our staff.
#2 As a large portion of our play is outdoor we are best to wait till its nice and warm again to reopen.

PARTIES will be starting again from the begining of September. Please PM for details on how to book your child's special day.

We would love to thank you all for your support and understanding. We hope that everyone has kept well and that you will all be excited to return in spring.

Love Sam, Troy and Family x

This is a tiny throw back to what we started with back in August last year.

It started with a wish...

Could I really create somewhere that families would want to come and play?

Could I create a space where Mums and Dads could form friendships over picnic tables and sensory trays?

Could I even make a decent coffee?!

My philosophy was always that it was far better to be an OOPS than a WHAT IF. So without any more hesitation, we began.

We worked hard, we dared to dream and we DID IT!....We actually did!

The 'Shed' turned into somewhere that people wanted to come. We were busy. Our first event was crazy! I learnt alot from that day!! We tried things, we took risks, some things worked and some things didn't. But with each new idea we grew.

We were then thrown a few curveballs.... catastrophic fire days, bushfires and then the coronavirus.

The cafe has sat in hibernation for a few months now, waiting for the right time to reopen. Our SPRING parties are starting to book up so if your thinking about an end of year birthday please contact us for more details.

Please know we are carefully considering our options and will be announcing our return on our social media channels in the coming month.

Thanks to our community for following and sharing and just being amazing. We made the space, but YOU brought it to life.

Much love,

Sam

This looks like a fun activity for your pre- kindy and kindy aged children.

What would be even better?.....is if those spray bottle skills taught children how to clean the windows !? 🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Here's hoping 🤞😂

This coming weekend we WERE planning a construction themed party for one lucky little boy and his family. Unfortunately Covid - 19 had other plans!

I love this theme, it is absolutely perfect for loose parts and sensory play. Im crossing my fingers and toes that someone requests this theme soon!

Our little miss turned 5 yesterday. I can't quite believe my second will be off to school next year with her big sister.

She was looking forward to a party, but like so many girls and boys who have had a birthday during this period she too will miss out. It is so hard to explain why there wont be the party we had planned.

So we are planning a party for her later this year at the cafe to make up for it.

And for now its a Mum's special Womans Weekly cake and some fairy bread at home..... i don't think that's too bad ;)

Wow, what a beautiful day! I'm sitting here in Hahndorf wondering when we will re-open our Sunday trading??!!

So many things to consider... and knowing that winter is coming it's so hard.... i dont want little people to freeze!!

We will not open until its 100% safe to do so, but on lovely days like this it makes me so sad to not be using our little space to its full potential.

Decisions... decisions!
