We talked about ...

. Natural is an important part of 'who we are' that is demostrated in the colour palette we use, organic food etc.

. Vintage toys and other curiosities add charm, interest, healthy link to nostalgia and ties into the 'name'.

. That we definitely need 2 rooms - the cafe and a separate space for activities that could also act as a cinema.

. Need to work out what we think would be a good maximum cover - we said if you had 20 adults then that could be potentially 40 kids as well.

. We can offer 2 different types of classes - formal classes (in the 2nd room) which has a specialist 'teacher' and should probably cost between £6 and £10 depending on what it is. Then mini-classes which could be done at a designated table in the cafe with one of the cafe-staff - things like place-mat making, greetings card with wooden stamps, cookie making etc (these should cost maybe £2 - £5 to join in? Additionally we could sell Do-It-Together Kits for you to do a little activity at your table with your child - like make a necklace kit, badge making, make a crown with jewels.

. We could either buy food in (easier and maybe get prestige of supplier) or do it on site - need to cost it out - initial idea was we could make more profit if we did it ourselves but obviously that includes employing someone. Need to investigate.

. What loos do we need - what are the rules?

. Offering wipes (and maybe nappy sacks - to eliminate odours) at changing place and having a range of nappy sizes behind the counter just in case.
