Call Directions Website

The Hen-House The Hen-House is a soft play cafe designed for ages 0-8, with dedicated baby, toddler and soft play Come and see us! We cater for children aged 0-9.

The Hen-House is a soft play café, also offering before and after school care, in Haslemere. We are situated next to Fired Earth, behind the Waitrose carpark. We want to create an environment that appeals to both parents and children. The children are entertained in a clean and fun place, whilst parents can relax, knowing that their children are safe. It serves great coffee and homemade food, using eggs from Henri’s own flock of chickens. There is a dedicated baby zone, as well as a double height soft play frame for older children. Toddlers have ‘The Alley’ which is a ‘street’ complete with a supermarket, café, workshop, and car park. There is also a party room, complete with LED disco floor, which can be hired out for parties. The party room holds a variety of classes every morning during term time and the holidays. Aside from the soft play, the focus of the café is on healthy children’s food, but we serve lunch for grown-ups too. Where possible the eggs come from Henri’s flock of 20 chickens. The eggs have been certified by the Egg Inspectorate, and are utterly delicious, and the chickens are totally free range. After school meal deal
The after school ‘meal deal’ is available from 330pm. The meal deal includes entry until closing time and a meal. There are takeaway options available for older siblings with later school pick up times. Breakfast Club
‘Breakfast club’ is designed for Dads (or Mums) to actually be able to relax and enjoy their weekend mornings, whilst entertaining the children. The ‘breakfast club' deal is available from 9am-11am on weekends. Included in the price is entry for one child (until 11am), a full breakfast, free flow tea/coffee of your choice, and a newspaper of your choice. Please book in advance so we can organise your newspaper order and make sure we have enough eggs (…and bacon, and sausages, and black pudding, and vine tomatoes, and hash browns, and beans, and mushrooms)

Simply the best parties ever….
…for both children and adults! Our aim is to take all the hassle out of organising your child’s party, allowing you to actually enjoy it! The base party includes entry and use of the soft play equipment, private use of the party room with disco, sandwiches and a cake. Our online booking system allows you to choose ‘add ons’ and customise your own party, allowing you to give it a more individual feel.

Struggling to recruit the right staff? 👀

Maybe you don’t have the time to manage the recruitment process, you’re not getting enough suitable applicants, or you simply need a bit of extra support.

And we get it... traditional agency fees can be hard to justify, especially when budgets are already stretched.

That’s where we come in. 👋

At The Hen House Recruitment, we offer fixed-fee recruitment support for early years settings, managing the recruitment process from start to finish without the high percentage-based agency fees.

We work with a limited number of vacancies each month so we can give every setting the time and attention it deserves.

🛍️ Did you know we have a little shop at The Hen House?

While the children play, why not have a browse? From gorgeous toys and gifts to books, craft activities and little treats, there’s plenty to choose from. 💛

Perfect for a little something to take home after a play, or to get ahead on those birthday presents! 🎁

Hi I'm Kaydalin, and I am one of the Wraparound Care Assistants here at the Hen House! Joining the team and working with children has become such a rewarding part of my life and I couldn't imagine doing anything else!

When I'm not at work, I'm at college where I study Health and Social Care and Psychology. My dream career path is going into Mental Health Nursing.

In my free time you will catch me with headphones on and music blasting! I also frequently raise money for charities, with October's challenges including doing a 40km Run for Autism and a 100 mile walk for Breast Cancer Now 🌟

Something very exciting is coming to The Hen House… 🐣

If you know me, you’ll know that The Hen House has always been about more than just soft play.

We’ve built a childcare business, worked with families, supported children and employed some incredible early years professionals along the way.

And one thing we’ve seen time and time again is just how challenging recruitment can be for childcare settings.

Finding the right people.
Finding people who understand early years.
Finding the time to manage it all alongside running a busy setting.

So we started asking ourselves:

What if recruitment could work differently?

And that question has led us to The Hen House Recruitment.

What started as an idea has turned into something that has taken weeks of research, conversations, spreadsheets, rewriting, questioning and probably more versions of our terms and conditions than I’d like to admit 😂

We’ve also had the opportunity to speak with some fantastic early years professionals along the way, and their insight has been invaluable in helping us shape what we’re creating.

We’re nearly ready to share it.

We can’t wait to tell you more.

Keeping active after school 🏸

Our wraparound sessions include plenty of opportunities for children to get outside, be active and take part in different sports and games.

From tennis and ball games to free play with friends, we make the most of our outdoor space whenever we can.

A good balance of activity, play and time to unwind after a busy day at school.

My name is Annabel and I love children. I am inspired by their hope, joy and wonder. I love watching them grow, learn and laugh.

I have two of my own who are now in their twenties and it has been my greatest privilege to be their mother. I enjoy travelling and exploring other countries, customs, religions and habitats. I also love food and the sea, music and my friends and also my dogs and cats.

I have a degree in Philosophy, a PGCE and have played different roles in different businesses and careers.

I am now happy and content working (playing with and feeding Bramley Infants children!!!) under the nurturing arms of The Hen House 🌟
