I'm in the process of setting up nappuccinos in my local area in London and am trying to find free places to host them (no budget to pay for rooms!).
I've already been in touch with the children's centres, and will be working with them to set some up, but I was thinking about setting one up in a child-friendly pub as well.
I'd have a roped off section of the pub, away from the bar, with foam floor tiles on the floor, for any babies/toddlers, and tea/coffee/juice and homemade baked goods, for the parents and parents-to-be. There are clean and spacious changing facilities available.
The pub is dead quiet during weekdays, so there won't be any noise from footy on the telly or large groups of drinkers or the like...The problem with cafes in the local area is that they're pretty small (not much space for prams/buggies) and usually stay quite busy throughout the day, which is why a spacious, quiet pub seems better to me...
The main advantage of it would be that it's in the heart of a busy village-y part of London (with loads of parents-to-be and parents of babies) so it may attract more drop-ins who just happen be passing and want to find out more.
But I just want to see if anyone thinks "er, no way would I go into a pub for an event like this!". So what you do think? Would you come to a nappuccino like this?
TIA
