Tackling childhood poverty one hot meal at a time

Juniors means a lot to my family. The kids are well supported. Not just the kids. Myself and my partner as well with our mental health. There’s no limitations for us with money, the kids can come down and play, eat, get their lunch, which is great. Especially, obviously, in the current times we’re in. The staff are absolutely lovely, and it would mean a lot for Juniors to not be here.

My daughter loves to go to this place. There are lots of toys and things for her to do. The staff are lovely and very friendly and they run different activities for babies and children.

Wonderful play cafe with the most amazing staff who do so much for children, parents and the community. So inclusive and somewhere I always feel safe to go to. Thanks for everything you do, Juniors!

I've been to the play cafe a few times and my son absolutely loved it, especially after Covid. It helped so much getting him out and into a nice environment with some other kids. My son loved all the role play and then soft play area. We actually love all the different events that are on throughout the visits and I’ve always felt so relaxed here. The staff are very supportive, friendly and welcoming. The food is always good and quickly made especially for little hungry people. We hope everyone else enjoys their visit.

I had the loveliest time with my son at Juniors - especially when he was very young. It’s hard to find places that suit younger kids. Really welcoming staff and a great place in the community to meet likeminded parents, especially being a first time mum.

Juniors is a life line for a lot of families and just a generally great place for wee ones. We love it and come every week.

This is a great place for mums dads and children the only thing Hamilton actually has.

I’ve used juniors for years, both my boys love it. I’ve also worked with Lesley in the past at her other establishment before it moved to Hamilton and she’s all about the community and helping others. Juniors is the only place parents and young children have to go during the week with this kind of set up. They’ve done a lot for the community here’s hoping it can be saved!

Both of my children loved Juniors. Staff are fantastic with the kids and always chat to parents. Juniors do so much for the local community.

Because my friends little boy has autism his name is Alfie and there is very few places left for him to go everywhere is closing down.

This is a fantastic facility for the parents and grandparents of preschool children. I take my grandchildren and they love it. It is great for their development and social skills. The staff are excellent , so helpful and spend time with all the children.

My son loves it, it’s brilliant for his development and the staff go to the ends of the earth to make it such and enjoying and engaging experience.

Such an amazing, fun place for young children, my son absolutely loves a trip to Juniors. We need to keep it open.

Great for young children with learning needs and in a great location for access needs to stay open it helps so many families.
