Goldfinch is such a special place for us. We started our journey on baby sensory classes. I loved the informal nature of these classes (others can be very perscribed and offered little opportunity to meet and mingle). No agenda just lovely toys and books to play with and an opportunity to meet other new mums. Practitioners were always warm and welcome. During this time I was sleep deprived and hormonal, it was a real safe and comforting space for me. We have since moved into create and play or music and move with Georgie. My two girls absolutely love her. Always a happy, warm and friendly face. The session are again calm, warm and friendly. Create and play has lovely craft ideas. There is typically 4 stations so caters for all interests / diversity in activities to keep little ones entertained. Music and move is a really fun and interactive session. And finally what’s not to love about a yallah coffee and a bite to lunch in cafe downstairs (hosted by Pinkmans). We really love Goldfinch. Next on our list is trying the school holiday clubs!

We celebrated our twins' 5th birthdays with a slime party at Goldfinch recently. All the kids (and the grown ups) had such a fun time making a big pot of colourful slime. They loved mixing in the ingredients and choosing the slime colour and even smell! It was a really chilled party, very well organised and everyone had a great time :)

Goldfinch Create and Play hosted my daughter’s 8th birthday and it was so lovely! The kids all had the best time making custom printed tote bags. The kids were guided through everything they needed to do, they had lovely lunch boxes from Pinkmans, and then we had cake! Such a relaxed and fun birthday party. It was also lovely that they have the cafe downstairs so the adults can get a coffee or a pastry while they wait.

We booked a party for my daughters 4th birthday; she loves cats and dogs so we asked if this could be the theme.. Georgie absolutely knocked it out of the park! There were so many well thought out activities and personal touches and the kids absolutely loved it!! The children were so engaged with the activities that they didn’t even want to stop for cake!! Georgie was the perfect host for the party and had a lovely manner with all the children; checking in, extending their play, making sure everyone was involved and helping get creative! We couldn’t have asked for a better host and a better setting for the party and wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Lots of the parents commented afterwards what a particularly lovely time that their child had had which was really great 😊 Thank you so much Goldfinch for a wonderful birthday party!! We will be back!! x

My daughter had her 7th birthday party here. She as well as her friends had a wonderful time and enjoyed the art and craft activities. These were bespoke and so creative for the age range we had 6-10! All the children were kept entertained. Inviting and comfortable room upstairs, with cafe downstairs - beautiful coffee and food on offer. A special thank you to George for running the activities and hosting us. We will be coming again 😍
