About Us

Puffin Cove was created by two local families who, like many others, were searching for more things to do with kids in and around Princes Risborough. With, at the time, an 8-year-old, twin 4-year-olds, and a 1 year old between us, we wanted somewhere that wasn’t just for the kids—but somewhere the adults would look forward to visiting too. We were seeking a coffee shop that also offered indoor play for our children and a space where family activities could be enjoyed by all.

Our vision was simple: a place where we could head out with our children and actually enjoy ourselves. Somewhere we could go that wouldn’t bring eye rolls or dread of having to resort to “soft play near me” on Google, but one where all of us could have fun, while our little ones could explore creative role-play zones and be happily exhausted at the end of the day.

At Puffin Cove, we hope you find that same sense of joy, connection, and relaxation. Whether you're looking for baby and toddler activities, a calm indoor playground, or a peaceful spot for a family day out, we’re here to welcome you!

“It’s easy looking after a baby or toddler when you’re well rested and relaxed… the other 99% of the time, anything that helps you fake being well rested and relaxed is a good thing!”
