Juniors Cafe & Soft Play in Windsor and Maidenhead

I attended a sip and paint event and can not believe this little gem of a place was here. I had a great evening with Lauren guiding us through what turned into a great painting. I couldn't resist a Pistachio and white chocolate cookie and was not disappointed. This place was clean and well presented throughout. I will definitely be returning. Not forgetting Mary and Sarah make a great team who worked really hard to make sure we were well catered for the whole evening.

Recently attended a Sip & Paint session here.. Had a lovely evening. Lauren the host was an amazing artist and helped us all so much individually. Juniors is a modern and clean venue with yummy fresh cookies which are my favourite! The class was a unique evening out and I love my picture, it’s even up on my hallway wall. Only pointers I’d add for improvement would be to start the class on time regardless of late attendance, I found myself slightly rushing at the end which could’ve been avoided. Also to be aware that no drinks are included in the price, it is additional. Finally the lighting at this time of the year in the car park is non existent which is probably not associated with Juniors but something to be aware of when holding late evening events that it is pitch black. Overall my friend and I had a lovely evening out together and we would definitely recommend.

Lovely cafe, good selection of cakes and drinks, nice staffband bonus little softplay for young children. Wouldn't recommend for 6+ kids though it's quite small

The young staff are so polite and helpful.

Edit Apologise if my previous review wasn't constructive. To be more specific, the ventilation or air conditioning in the soft play area needs improvement as the air often feels heavy inside. Apart from that, we always enjoyed the cafe and happy with the service. Original The location is lovely, but the soft play area needs significant improvement. There is consistently a bad odor and a noticeable lack of fresh air. After attending a Halloween session and leaving disappointed, we're unlikely to return for soft play.

This place is a little gem for parents! I love the soft play it’s a size that my two year old can enjoy and I can watch whilst sitting with my baby. The drinks are great with a varied menu and the cookies and sweet treats are always amazing and I love they are all supporting local businesses. The soft play is very reasonably priced too. Staff are always friendly and happy to help.

Just been to a Halloween party at the soft play. What a lovely atmosphere! The children all had a wonderful time. The food was served in little boxes with their food requests inside and they put every effort into meeting our needs! The soft play has been nicely refurbished and at a good temperature. It's really good especially for smaller children, as you can see them most of the time! This cafe is a gem in Cox Green, we're lucky to have on our doorstep!

Had my son’s birthday party here, staff were extremely helpful, facilities were very clean and well kept. Beautifully renovated and we all had an amazing party. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress free party for little ones!

I had a disappointing experience at this soft play. The soft play was very dirty, and it was clear they hadn’t cleaned between sessions, which is especially concerning in a space meant for babies. The staff were also unfriendly, which added to the negative experience. Additionally, if you have a baby between 0-2 years old, there isn’t much space or suitable play areas for this age group. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all

A bit bare. Good coffees and other drinks. Fresh baked goods. Some covered space outdoors facing South. Too many dogs around spoil the atmosphere.

Great for kids. Cafe on the side, toilets and free car park.

I’m a regular and adding a new review for the newly renovated Juniors Soft Play as I’m incredibly impressed! The first thing that stood out is the carefully selected color tones in the play area. Aside from the fantastic play space, Juniors also offers a great selection of food options. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a sandwich, panini, muffins or cookies. Parents will love the freshly brewed coffee and smoothies, and kids can indulge in snacks or ice cream. For families who want to enjoy the outdoors, there’s a lovely park just outside, making it a perfect spot to continue the fun after playtime indoors. Overall, it’s a wonderful, family-friendly spot that we’ll definitely be returning to!

We love coming here! A clean, well looked after soft play. Sessions are easy to book online and are well managed. Never overcrowded Friendly, attentive staff. Tasty food. Reasonable prices. Ample free parking.

We have been for lunch, the food is lovely, l would definitely recommend. Always a quick service and the staff are very friendly. I don't have a child young enough for the soft play, but this is still an amazing place to visit for lunch or for a cuppa and cake. Free car park and plenty of open space to enjoy 😊

Lovely cafe, I didn't have food but I could see other people's and looked great. My son had an ice cream and played in the soft play, was very clean and perfect size for him. He is 3. It was quiet, so we could go in without booking. Park outside is also great, we spent a good 3 hours playing. Will defo return!

A great little soft play for young kids, as long as it is not too busy. Food is available, although none taken on this occasion.

Had coffee and Ice cream here. The price was reasonable and good staff. The toilets were really clean.

Such a lovely chilled environment, with delicious food and brilliant service.

Perfect for children to let of steam and get good exercise. Parents/ Grandparents can keep their eyes on them.

Great coffee, good selection of food and an excellent soft play! Thoroughly reccomend

Lovely cafe, with a brilliant softplay for children. Mary is always friendly and welcoming, and makes a delicious coffee. One of favourite places to come with our little one. Thanks for the great service as always!

Lovely lady filled me in on all their times and what they do.

Food is good, coffee is good but it's very expensive for very small coffee. Soft play is small but good for the money, staff are pleasant and the location is great

Great cafe for the park - great to sit outside with a drink and relax

Free parking. Outside play area in the park. Been here in summer and now the spring. First time in soft play - most kids ages from 2-4 which was nice as low probability of our 2 year old getting run over by some hyperactive 8 year old. Coffee was good but regular really is small so just get a ‘large’. Scone came with clotted cream. Will be back.

Absolutely wonderful staff, always happy to help, food is lovely.

Was left feeling abit disappointed. Looking online it looks like a fresh modern cafe/soft play however was abit disappointed by the soft play and the size of the cafe. Soft play was looking very old and tired along with the tables and chairs. Just made it feel very dark and like going back in time. The 0-2 section of the soft play didn’t offer much. Something like a small ball pit/mirrors/toys would be better especially for those babies who can’t get crawl/walk. The older kids section looked like it would be fun as looked like a lot of elements to it. Was abit disappointed by the menus as all was on offer was toasties. Even for the children it was just toasties. Most one year old will not eat a toastie so it was a great shame that there wasn’t more on offer for the children. Also there was no vegan options on the menus. I am not vegan however I do have a dairy allergy so out and about vegan is usualy the safest option for me And I was quite surprised there wasn’t a single vegan option. I ended up ordering a toastie without the cheese however was disappointed. Service was slow once ordered. Friends we came with waiting almost the entire play session and then their food came out wrong. We all waiting with our friend so she wasn’t on her own waiting for her food so ultimately we all missed our play session. I’m not here just to be negative I am just hoping that you can take some of these comments on board and perhaps expand your menu/kids menu. A revamp of the soft play would be great and perhaps just a reminder to staff about being able to get the ordered out in adequate time. This place has great potential, great location, good sized soft play room and friendly staff just needs a few things tweaking.

The coffee and cake were very nice but the staff were not friendly at all.

The 50min soft play session was fun and enjoyable for my toddler. Like any soft play centre, parents/guardians need to keep an eye on their little ones. The cafe area is nice, I would avoid taking a pram/pushchair if you can as space is limited. The soft play area could do with a refresh - some fresh paint and the upholstery could do with a change, as some were torn up. The tables also need refresh. However, I did see a staff member cleaning the tables after the session. The coffee was good - nice and strong! To sum up a good outing for toddlers, and in the summer the outdoor playground would be ideal. Juniors cafe and soft play is in a great location, with amble free parking.

Great place. Mary and the staff are fantastic. Price is good and reasonably quiet during the week which is great for toddlers and babies to explore more. Always see staff cleaning when sessions have finished and I must admit I really enjoy having a Mocha and a piece of delicious cake when my toddler is getting rid of some of his energy.

We love the playground outside. The soft play area inside isn't really for kids older than 3 - 4 and is relatively small. It wasn't spotless clean anymore (we visited in the last afternoon slot and this is probably why), there were lots of spiderwebs on the windows and no windows that can open for aeration. However, the staff are very friendly and the food and beverages looked good! The prices are good, too! Edit: I have changed my rating to 4 stars as they are engaging and left a friendly response. Thank you.

I love this cafe the food is great and you can tell the staff love working there as they are always happy and helpful. The softplay is fab for younger children, I like the fact that you can book shorter sessions and the good value price reflects that (so many soft plays are so expensive) as there’s a really good park outside to take advantage of before or after. I liked the little touches in the bathroom too (wipes/nappy bags etc) as I’m forever forgetting those in my changing bag.

My Saturday morning coffee stop on a dog walk!

Good coffee and cakes, friendly staff,, well priced.

If you have a 0-2 year old my opinion as a parent is this venue is neither fun nor safe. My first visit matches the experience and conclusion shared by Hannah Taylor 11 months ago. I spent the entire time right next to my 16 month old baby in the 0-2 year olds play area frantically trying to protect her from the repeated interference by uncontrolled older children playing recklessly in an area designated for babies her age. My baby was intimidated and at one point left terrified and crying in pain after the full weight of a bigger child jumping off the parapet landed straight on to her little legs. This parent did make her child apologise, but she should never have been allowed to play so roughly around crawling babies. I had no idea which of the 10 or so other parents and carers sitting at the seating and ignoring the clearly dangerous situation their children were creating to approach, and no staff present to ask for help. Occasionally a parent would bother to get up and remove their child, but they quickly gave up. More than once I had no choice but to quickly remove my child away from the play area for her own safety. Only one other crawling baby was present, and she and her dad left very quickly. I reported my concerns to the manager on leaving, who with a blank expression offered absolutely no concern nor compassion for a visibly upset baby. When bluntly told to call them in next time, I responded she could go look right now to see the problem, which she did. I waited a reasonable time for her to return but she did not, and I left feeling bitterly disappointed and angry at the lack of care for my small child. The two staff clearly felt it more important to stand in a near-empty coffee shop than to periodically check all is well in the very busy play area. I've read the responses to all the reviews, 5 star ones are offered free drinks while those mentioning problems see the blame shifted or in Hannah's case, outright belittlement. I hold no hope that my similar concerns will be treated with the seriousness they deserve. ---------------------------------------- Edit: I have removed a term you feel causes offence, though I remain highly offended that your "wonderful customers" were unmoved by my baby being bullied and hurt by their children. Were we not also your customers?

The lovely staff went above and beyond to reunite my little boys lost special teddy with him, after it was left there. So very thankful for everything they did. We have one very happy boy and two very relieved parents. Thank you!!!!

This soft play is amazing for babies and small children. We come here at least once a week, the iced coffees are fantastic!! Mary is always so welcoming and smiley!! Hot food, especially the paninis and even the cakes, are super fantastic. Highly recommend this cafe and soffit play!!

I love this soft play! It’s very good value for money and they serve lots of yummy goodies. The soft play area is always very clean and they have a separate section for under 2s which is perfect for my little boy. Mary is always so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

We love it here. Mary & team are fantastic. My parents are regulars for the lovely coffee & a sneaky cake 😉 All 3 of my daughters enjoy a cake too. The Soft Play is great especially for a party with a few friends. We enjoy Juniors Cafe whatever the weather. We'll either sit inside & chat to Mary or take our drinks/lollies outside to the play area. A really nice way to spend the day with family & friends.

Kam, Mary and the team are lovely! Great coffee, the best brownies I've ever eaten and nice walks. Spot on!

Really nice playground and cafe

We've been coming here for over 5 years now. The new owners are much nicer and the staff are always welcoming and happy. They always remember us and take time to say hi. I've heard the softplay room will be renevated soon which will make a big difference to already a lovely area. The cafe sells lovely food and drink and the brownies are the best around. The park out the front of the cafe is perfect for all ages and very a easy way to spend time here with the field for a walk around too.

Lovely little cafe. Bonus they sell treats by some wonderful local bakers. Nice selection of drinks & snacks. Cute little softplay for youngsters too, mostly suited to under 5's

Daughter loves the soft play here and visits weekly. Very reasonably priced. Nice coffee and treats available also

Great selection of cakes and drinks, friendly staff and the play around is the perfect size for the smaller children. Highly recommended

I have ordered Kinder Bueno milkshakes from here and they are amazing. The staff are so friendly and efficient. Would recommend coming here to anyone.

We have returned to Maidenhead after 40 years and found the best toasted sandwiches at Juniors Cafe in beautiful Ockwell Park. Lovely staff and service.

Lovely kind friendly helpful staff, amazing coffees and milkshakes! Couldn't recommend the place enough!

Asked for ice cubes for cold compress to my 5-year old who hurt himself at the playground next to cafe, but staff couldn’t spare 4 cubes. Toilets are not working and filthy. Great coffee though.

Fantastic little cafe!! It’s my cheeky little escape from the office at lunchtime :). I get to sit looking out at parkland, with an iced coffee and tasty toasted sandwich…. And when I need a real pick me up I indulge in a luxury brownie. I’ve even been known to take a box of them home for the family. It’s a real treat for me.

Great cafe with good coffee and pastries to fill up on. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating too. The indoor soft play area is fanatic for young kids. It gets busy so maybe book ahead or get there early so as not to be disappointed.

I’ve been visiting the cafe since it reopened and it’s brilliant, they have the best brownies I’ve ever tasted! The staff are also very friendly. They also have some really nice cakes. 👍

Good price, with lots of fun for children

Been going a long time. But very cold in play area. And since changed hands food and beverage very expensive and coffees much smaller.

Second time here. Coffee is good and the sandwiches are ok. My only complaint is that when I asked to take my 6 year old to the bathroom I was sent outside to the most disgusting toilet. Seems inadequate for cafe patrons.

This cafe is in a great location surrounded by the beauty of Ockwells Park. The cafe serves a variety of fresh delicious cakes and toasties/panini. The staff are polite and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.

Very small. Suitable for Toddlers only. Has a nice Cafe on site and a play park outside.

Lovely friendly ladies. Great play area, seating area for adults and coffee and snacks in hand as well.

Really nice cafe and setting but wouldn’t come again due to the 50 minute session limit. To be fair they did state this on the website when booking but it feels like you are getting ushered out almost straight after arriving. Not sure if this is a leftover COVID thing? It seems big enough to allow people to come and go as they please rather than having set times.

Gem of a place! Perfect for us with 2.5 year old. Great set up with cafe and soft play. Friendly and helpful staff. Never seems to be too busy either. Highly recommended

The cafe is quite small. The food is nice although seems to be loaded with cheese more than any other fillings, if you like cheese it's okay. They unfortunately don't cater for gluten free except a couple of cakes, but when you go for lunch, you expect to get a sandwich or jacket potato. They only do sandwich and panini's but don't have any gf bread. I'm sure I'm not the only one asking for gluten free and I don't always want a cake either. Also don't get cond by regular or large cup, everywhere else that is obvious, here you ask for regular and you get the smallest cup ever. You ask for a large and it's just a normal regular size, but they're charging £3 for a tiny cup of hot chocolate. This cafe could do a lot more and cater for more people with allergies. Like everywhere else if you're vegan or vegetarian there's food for you. Just if you have a medical illness you have to starve. Not the best I have to say.

Really nice looking cafe and friendly staff but the soft play set-up just wasn't safe enough for my one year old. The session was like taking my driving theory test again but with children (and with much more hazards). Straight after arriving, a much older child (about 8, maybe) ran into the 0-4 area and literally climbed up the netting up to the ceiling, right above where my one-year old was sitting. After a while his mother (at last!) told him to come down. Throughout the session older children kept running into the 0-4 area and paid no heed to my son and how to play safely. Larger children were running all over the room and nearly knocked into my one-year old several times. Other parents paid little regard for ensuring that their children were behaving responsibly and I found the time we spent there very stressful because I kept having to protect my son from other children. There was nothing wrong with the play area in and of itself but the setup is not age appropriate for young, non-walking children.

Great food and really friendly staff

Very nice small soft play and small cafe

Excellent little cafe with good selection of drinks and snacks. You pay here to enter the Softplay area but booking is advised.

Very good for coffee and ice cream 🍦

I've been coming to the cafe and soft play since it has been re opened. It's an amazing place to come with the kids, lovely cakes and drinks, very friendly staff (especially my favourite girl Karolina) , thank you for always being great and welcoming :)

Lovely park nice friendly cafe great indoor play area for kids 😀

No longer Andrea's cafe and it goes without saying a massive improvement and very welcoming. Reasonably priced and excellent coffee

Quite expensive but in the best location

My son is autistic and this place is like his heaven!!! It’s not to small but not to big it’s perfect size. It’s always clean, and tidy and never booked to the point of rammed! The owners make sure a booking system is in place so the place isn’t overcrowded! The owner Kam is such a kind person who has personally made sure my son is looked after in anyway she can. I explained about William turning 3 soon and how I wanted a quiet setting she offered to book out the sessions which I thought was the cutest thing ever!! The food is amazing! And the staff who work there are so friendly, upbeat and helpful. We go here every week and for 3.50 a session you can’t go wrong!!! To anyone who is looking for a soft play being a mum myself get you and your kids down to this lovely little soft play :)

Clean, lots of pastries, great park just there

Nice place when it's sunny. Nice cafe . Lovely Park Place over all.

Another disappointing visit. I want the new management to succeed but they have to up their game. Cafe prices do not indicate average quality of product and services. Even I buy my goods locally, for them to use that as an excuse for high prices is deplorable. They need to think about what they stand for..

Dunno how I would survive without this cafe ha!! Delicious coffee and lovely staff. Always very patient with me and my doggos, especially when one sneaks in 🤣

Nice cafe for tea, coffee and ice cream

Lovely well priced toasties and genuinely the best cakes I’ve ever had; with indoor and outdoor seating available too. The area really needed something like this! Fully recommend.

One field after another.A great place for kids and dogs.

Stopped off for a latte whilst out on the motorcycle. Very nice place and friendly staff. Will definitely be going there again and making it a regular stopping point.

This place is never open 😒 when I go with the kids

Great children's play area next to a huge field to walk the dog. Enjoyed my mocha in the friendly cafe too. Will be coming here again!

This is not the cheapest coffee shop out there, but the coffee is tasty and the staff is kind and helpful.

Brilliant cafe, really lovely, helpful staff. Great choice of snacks even for our families various allergies.

We really love it here. The staff are always approachable & we are always welcomed with a smile! Although the soft play isn’t massive it’s never overcrowded and the toddlers have plenty of space & FUN! The only downfall is the price of drinks/cakes ect. Appreciating they are a little business it’s understandable as most independent cafe prices are in line with Ockwells! But it can become quite expensive for under an hour if you buy a coffee ect!

Visited today! Was very disappointed with the customer service, also all the cookies on display ( few varieties) had no price at all!!! How can you sell something and you cannot bother to display a price?? Very unfair for customers, got a shocking bill for 4 cookies and no receipt either, paid cash! Also coffee is not strong at all, have previously tried, will not visit this place again!

A perfectly size with not too many people. Great fun and reasonable priced with a fun packed park outside.

Not sure why no one comments about the small size their regular coffee cups are! Payed £3.10 for a very small and not very strong tasting soya mocca. Disappointing 🙁

Such rude staff and argumentative very unexpected! I wont be returning here make sure you know exactly what you want when ordering because if you make a mistake and are willing to pay extra you will get verbally abused. The sizes of the coffee here are very small in comparison to most coffee shops so when asked to pay extra for a large I was denied due to cash only payment available. I was then harshly told that I should have known beforehand as in McDonalds you state if you want a regular or large meal when politely replying that at Costa for example you are asked if you want a regular or large coffee the man replied this is not a Costa which is funny because it isn’t a McDonalds either. I dont think comments like this should be made its very poor customer service and if you want to give a complimentary top up as you cannot accept a card payment you should not be rude and angry saying you dont need to do this at all.

Nice place to have a walk then call in cafe for cake and coffee sit in or out in the sun

Nice area to walk but cafe prices are very expensive

Just had my daughters 3rd birthday here. Big success. 2 hours of running around in a contained space, large (and small) enough where grownups could sit and watch from the tables. 2 hours was more than enough time for a party. At 90 minutes in you started to hear more of the tired cries kick in.🍽

Nice little place to visit good park for kids and softplay in the back of the cafe

Overpriced £9.45 for 2 small coffees and a brownie

Clean, quiet and staff were polite. Cafe is overpriced though

The pandemic has brought us many changes, the rise in working from home being one of them. "Work hard, play hard" is no longer cool, playing soft is the in thing these days. If, like me, you're in your mid 40s then soft play might be something you can't quite pull off. There's nowhere to plug in your MacBook Air in the ball pit so you can't catch up with your team on Zoom etc. Luckily for us there's another lockdown trend you can embrace here and that is stuffing your face with so many delicious sugary delights that your insulin levels become more volatile than the price of bitcoin. I bought so many of the Flour Power cookie slices that I got a free side order of type 2 diabetes, it was totally worth it. My dentist would probably be very disapproving, my family on the other hand nearly ripped my arms off when I walked in the door carrying these sweet treats. Come on down and see for yourself what all the fuss is about, just leave a cookie or two for me.

Really enjoyed our first soft play trip back today after it has reopened. They've done a great job of refurbishing the cafe & have a lovely selection of drinks & food. The brownies are delicious! The service was friendly & it was all very clean. The soft play is quite small (not a problem but worth knowing) but is perfect for babies & toddlers as you can enjoy a drink whilst being able to watch your children & knowing they are safe. Thanks, we will definitely be back!

The new owners have done a great job on the refurb! They are friendly and accommodate dietary requirements with ease. A variety of treats and drinks available and it's worth popping in for the friendly service alone. Great, can recommend!
