Become a Family MemberWe had an amazing party at Joy Tots for my little boys first birthday. Isla was so helpful and planning was so easy. The cafe was so beautifully decorated with balloons and a banner and it was spotlessly clean. We opted to add food as it was over lunchtime and there was a fantastic spread, a really lovely selection for adults and children. BYOB was a lovely touch. Can't recommend highly enough and look forward to visiting the cafe again soon!
We celebrated our baby's first birthday at Joy Tots and we were really happy with everything. Isla and Sidney were super friendly and helpful, even when it was a bit difficult to get us out the door at the allocate time (sorry!). The place is great for a little person's birthday. It's also BYOB and there is to option to bring in your own catering, which we did. Isla also put out colouring in for the older kids which was a hit. Thanks for everything, we had a great day :)
A great place to while away an hour or two with a small person. Isla's "art tots" session is just marvellous - she puts so much effort into it. Unmissable. And the atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed; great coffee and cake too.
Lovely and very friendly place and staff. We had our child's 1st birthday there and we left 100% satisfied. Amazing catering, cozy atmosphere, all perfect!
We recently celebrated our child's 1st birthday at Joy Tots in Edinburgh, and I can't recommend this place enough! From the moment we booked, Isla was incredibly accommodating and made organizing a kids' party completely stress-free. The venue was perfect for young children, with plenty of space for them to play and explore safely. Isla ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. Joy Tots truly made our little one's special day memorable, and we will definitely be back for future celebrations. If you're looking for a hassle-free, fun-filled place for a child's party, Joy Tots is the place to go!
