Front of House / Experienced Barista

Moo Moo’s Play Café is a boutique, premium soft play café in the heart of Cobham High Street — a beautifully curated space for newborns, babies and toddlers, designed by two local mums who wanted somewhere that felt like a genuine treat for parents and children alike. We combine a dedicated baby sensory area, a stylish soft play zone and Montessori-inspired toys with barista-quality coffee and a warm, welcoming café setting, so grown-ups can relax properly while little ones play safely.

Families love us for our calm, boutique atmosphere, our attention to detail and our genuinely great coffee — it’s what sets us apart from a typical soft play centre. We’re still a young business (and growing fast!), which means every member of the team has a real say in how we do things and a real stake in our success.

This is an exciting time to join us. We’re at the very beginning of our journey, with ambitious multi-site expansion plans from our owners over the coming years — so there’s genuine, tangible opportunity for career progression for the right person as we grow, including routes into management as new sites open.
