Surrey’s modern family friendly play cafe

FAQs

• What are your opening hours?

  Standard play sessions run seven days a week: from 9am on weekdays and 9.30am at weekends. Weekday sessions last up to two hours and weekend sessions last 90 minutes. Please check live availability when booking, as opening arrangements may change around holidays, family events and private parties. Advance booking is always recommended because session capacity is limited.

• How can I pay?

  Small+Mighty is a cashless venue. Online bookings are paid for when reserved. Card payment may be possible at reception for walk-in visits, but entry cannot be guaranteed when a session is full, so advance booking is recommended.

• Where are you based?

  Small and Mighty is at the top of Godalming High Street just past the Pepper Pot. Godalming is just outside of Guildford in Surrey.

• Do I need to book in advance?

  Walk-in spaces may be available, but weekends, school holidays and special events can sell out. Booking online gives you the best choice and prevents a wasted journey. We cannot admit additional guests once a session reaches its safe capacity.

• Can I change my booking?

  Standard bookings may be moved subject to availability when you contact us at least 24 hours before the session. Party amendments are subject to the party booking terms and relevant notice period. Please include your booking reference when emailing the team.

• Do we need to wear socks?

  Yes. Shoes must be removed before entering the play areas and socks must be worn by adults and children throughout play. This helps us maintain a clean, hygienic environment, particularly for babies and children playing close to the floor. Socks are available to purchase at reception if needed.

• Is your space SEN-friendly?

  Small+Mighty has been designed with a cohesive colour palette, low-level LED lighting, tactile activities, soft furnishings and flexible sensory technology. Our interactive zone can also present gentler visual scenes with calming sound. Every child’s needs are different, so please contact us before visiting if you would like to discuss the environment, quieter session choices or a group visit.

• Is there space for buggies?

  Yes. Buggies can be left in the designated area near the front of the café, with limited space beside some tables. Please follow the team’s guidance so access routes remain clear.

• When are we open

  We are currently open seven days a week from 9am till 5.30pm. Our slots are 1.5hrs long and are bookable every half an hour depending on the capacity of the session. We also operate seasonal events outside these hours. We are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Please see our Instagram for current updates to this. _Smallnmighty.

• Can we bring food?

  Food and drink purchased elsewhere cannot normally be consumed at Small+Mighty, helping us manage allergens and food hygiene. Exceptions may be agreed for baby food or an essential medical or dietary requirement. Please contact us before your visit so we can make a suitable plan.

• Cancellation & Refunds

  We operate a no refund policy at Small+Mighty in order to manage our capacity but we will move your session to a more convenient date or time subject to availability and when you request this 24hours before your session. We are unable to do this without 24 hours notice as we would unlikely be able to resell your session. Please contact us on hello@smallandmighty.club
