A play space for everyone

What to Expect

Little Lobsters isn’t just for children — it’s a place for families. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or carer, you’ll find a comfortable space to relax, enjoy a coffee, and catch up while the little ones play.

❋ Easy to Find

Based in Amblecote, Wordsley, near Stourbridge. Free on-site parking (limited spaces) plus nearby public parking options. Lift access and pushchair parking available.

❋ Food & Drink

Grab yourselves a table and then head over to our cafe to order from a menu perfect for families, with great coffee and a wonderful selection of cakes. (We stop taking food orders 30 minutes before the end of each session.)

❋ 90 mins of imaginative play

Soft play frame designed for under 5s, plus role play areas including kitchens, construction, cars, dolls, and more — all designed to spark imagination, creativity, and open-ended play.

We finish every session with 15 minutes of music time — singing, dancing, and instruments.

❋ Intentional Layout

The space is bright, open, and filled with natural light, with clear views of play areas so you can keep an eye on your child. It’s designed so grownups can relax a little too — whether that’s catching up with a friend or just enjoying a rare hot coffee while the little ones play safely nearby.
