Little Olive's Play Café

Alison and Jess, the founders of Little Olives, approached Tigerplay with a vision: to create a woodland-inspired soft play café in Malvern, UK, that would nurture children’s development through play while offering a welcoming space for parents. Their brief included a mix of soft play, sensory, and role play zones, all tied together with an enchanting woodland theme.

The result is a truly magical interior where play equipment blends seamlessly into the natural aesthetic. The design prioritises adults as well as children, with a calming and stylish interior, comfortable seating, and a carefully curated café menu: the key components for a successful high street play café.

The play area features a climbing wall with bespoke woodland artwork, two timber play frames, hand-stitched soft play pieces, a sensory den, and a role play village. Children can climb, slide, and explore to their hearts’ content, developing motor skills and enjoying imaginative play. Hemisphere windows add a playful touch, giving little ones the chance to wave at parents enjoying the café.

"Little Olives chose Tigerplay because we were looking for quality and excellent design. We also wanted to create a calm space where both adults and children could have an enjoyable experience — and that’s exactly what we got! Our project manager was on hand every step of the way, problem-solving where needed to deliver the best play space possible. We couldn’t have chosen a better company.”
