The Calf Shed — Restaurant in Leeds

Went for a first aid course which was brilliant and would highly recommend from mini first aid. But honestly my daughter walked in and immediately covered her ears and became distressed. She was in tears by the time she reached the room and it was so loud the whole time despite the door being closed. The noise was quite frankly alarming. I was so shocked there were parents there with tiny babies. There is absolutely no doubt that it was way above safe levels for young children which is 50-60 decibels for babies and nothing above 80 for very long for infants and toddlers. Not to mention it was an uncomfortable level for a fully grown adult. Not sure what the organiser is thinking having it that loud and also it immediately made the whole space inaccessible for anyone who struggles with sensory processing which is more people than you would think. Definitely something that needs to be reviewed for the safety of the children...

First visit- 11am weekday in summer hols.

£3 entry (I think per child) to enter cafe and indoor & outdoor play areas which was really good value. There are also classes to book here (moo music), and other sessions like a sensory room.

Whilst the class was running, it was very busy and noisy, with most of the indoor play area taken up by the class. After this it was pretty empty.

Very reasonable food and drink prices. Falafel and hummus panini was great. Took a while for hot food and drinks to come.

Overall seems really good value compared to soft play, great for babies and younger toddlers, and nice for adults to catch up and grab a drink.

Looks like their website is under construction currently and you need to use social media e.g. Facebook for timetables. I think it could be clearer online what is actually here, hence the...

Fantastic. The staff make it for me, the owner (I think) was so accommodating when I couldn't make a class and the lady serving was so lovely. I went on my own this time and she helped me with literally everything, she even helped me sort my belongings out and played with my son a little and he absolutely loved her lol. I can sometimes get flustered when im out on my own with my little one but I didn't need to worry at all. The food and coffee was amazing too. The play area is great and nice and safe and contained. Sensory room is also brilliant for younger ones I went in a couple of times when my little one was smaller. My son loves it here and so do I. Thank you so much we will...
