Being a new mum is probably one of the most exhausting jobs in the world, so having a go-to list of places you can get to for coffee is essential! In our experience though it’s not just about the coffee, we like the places that have easy parking, good facilities, a shop and sometimes a 30 minute drive distance is a good idea to get the nap done in the car! Here is our top 5 days out in Cheshire with babies and toddlers, bring your nct crew and enjoy your latte mat leave!
1. Bents Garden Centre
Great café choices with plenty of highchairs, loads of parking, wander round the outdoor gardens, shop for lovely clothes in the baby-boutique, play area for older ones (12 months +) Nice clean baby change facilities. Don’t miss the Christmas displays, a great baby-sensory experience!
If you like this you might like: Okells Garden Centre, Tarporley.
2. Walton Hall & Zoo
Children’s Zoo, great for babies in slings, or a good pram walk with your mum mates. Get a coffee to go from the café, a super playground for the older children to wear themselves out. Don’t Miss: Seeing the Alpaca!
If you like this you might like: Tatton Park Farm
3. Astbury Mere Country Park
This is a bit of a drive if you live in north Cheshire or near Chester but that can be great for naps before and after. There is lots of parking, a great little café onsite to grab a coffee then a nice loop walk around the Mere. Don’t miss: The free pram fit/outdoor fitness sessions (If you’re feeling energetic!)
If you like this you might like: Delamere Forest, Northwich.
4. Abbeywood Gardens
A beautiful meandering walk through 6 acres of formal and informal gardens, extensive café menu with breakfasts, homemade meals and lots of cake. Essential for those sleep deprived days! Don’t miss: Photo opportunity on the Pool Garden bridge.

5. Ness Botanic Gardens
If you have any older children they will love exploring the many paths, don’t follow a map just wander at your leisure. Good parking, café, facilities, and if you’re feeling organised you can bring a picnic. Don’t miss: The little diggers zone and the chickens
