These are the things Norwich Mumblers think can make a place to eat ‘Family Friendly’. Places don’t have to meet all the criteria but meeting at least 3 of them would be a good guideline for being recommended.
- Breastfeeding friendly
- Accommodations made for bottle/baby food warming
- Clean high chairs/boosters
- Cold or only slightly warmed children’s plates
- Children’s cutlery/cups
- Nappy Changing area – regularly maintained
- Being able to request when the children’s meals arrive
- A children’s menu, with variety and healthy options
- Activities for children (e.g.colouring/books/toys etc)
- Helpful and attentive staff (helping you with pushchair/bags, bringing highchairs over)
- A toddler toilet seat and step stool or small toilet
- Free emergency nibbles for hungry children
- Child-sized portions of adult menu/special requests.
- Finger foods for baby led weaning (BLW)
- Safe Play area indoor/outdoor
- Going the extra mile happy to chat and engage with the children
- Happy for children and pregnant women to use the toilet facilities even if they aren’t customers
