Had our little girls 4th party at little olives play cafe and i must say from staft to finish Jess and her team smashed it, so attentive and very helpful making everything so at ease for us to relax. Freya had a great time with all her friends and the perfect place for a younger child's party. Thanks so much Jess and the team we thoroughly enjoyed our party with you! Food was beautifully presented and just the right amount for the amount of children we had. Thanks so much again and would highly recommend for any future childrens party's, great all in one party venue🥰

We recently visited Little Olive’s with our two daughters and had such a lovely experience. The play areas were very clean and well looked after, the service was friendly throughout, and the food we had was really nice too. What stood out most was that you can genuinely feel how much the owners care about their business, and that really reflects in the atmosphere of the café. It’s such a great place for families with young children, especially if you’re looking for a smaller soft play with role play areas that feels welcoming and relaxed rather than overwhelming. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to other parents visiting Malvern.

Little Olive's Play Cafe is an absolute gem and we loved it. My boys, aged 4 and 2, had such a great time and were completely engaged throughout. The pretend play setup is fantastic, with so many different stations including a vet, construction area, ice cream and coffee shop, and a supermarket, which keeps them entertained for ages. There is also a lovely sensory room, plus a separate play area with slides, a rock wall and spaces suitable for babies, so it really caters to all ages. The space itself is beautifully designed and feels very calm and welcoming. The coffee was genuinely really good, which is always a bonus, and there are plenty of large tables, easily seating 8 to 10 people, making it perfect for meeting friends or groups. Overall a fantastic business and one I would highly recommend. Only thing I would say is floor is a little cold so bring two pairs of socks for parents and kids!

Little Olive's hosted my son and daughter's joint 3rd and 1st birthday party and I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue itself is a great space for little ones to play. It has been well thought out and a lot of effort has been made to make the different areas entertaining and engaging for both babies and toddlers. The venue is clean and tidy and was beautifully decorated for the party. The cafe area is lovely and spacious and serves great coffee, food and snacks for adults and children. The food supplied for the party was ideal for the children and a lot of care was taken to accommodate for allergies. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Jess, the owner, was so helpful with the organising of the party and was able to recommend other local businesses for cakes etc. Jess was available throughout the party to ensure things ran smoothly, which they did! Overall I can say I am so glad I chose Little Olive's to host the party and all the guests have told me what a great time they had. We will be visiting regularly for playdates and Little Olive's is truly a wonderful addition to Malvern! Thank you Jess and all the team for making Archie and Hazel's birthday so special

I visited this brilliant new play cafe today with my 2 year old. When you first enter there is a large area to leave pushchairs, and benches and hooks to take off shoes/store coats 👟 🧥, before you enter the main area - a large cafe with lots of tables and chairs. There are three main play spaces- role play room, sensory room and soft play area incl. baby area. The soft play is a lovely neutral, woodland design with areas for children to climb, slide and explore, with soft astro-turf flooring. The role play area includes a cafe, vets and shop. The attention to detail was amazing, with high quality role play items in each section. The sensory room has low lighting, with a bubble tube and soft flooring. Very good coffee ☕ and good food selection for adults and children. Will definitely be visiting again! 🙂
