What a great start! Setting the bar incredibly high, Nest in Kensington Gardens is a great little place, tucked away in the busy North Lanes you could easily walk past without noticing it! We went in bang on lunchtime on a busy Saturday, I was a bit apprehensive as there was a few people hanging around the door and it looked quite busy but we were immediately shown a free table and offered a highchair by a lovely member of staff. There is a convenient place beside the counter for 2 buggies max which we were happy to use at their suggestion as someone already had a buggy at one of the tables and it's not a huge place. Ordered a sandwich, vegan flapjack for Ivy and a large latte which were all brought to the table with no fuss whilst I wrestled madam into the highchair. (The basic Ikea ones which are great.) We weren't rushed even though it became increasingly busy and the staff were great with Ivy the whole time, talking to her 'oh how cute' etc., really above and beyond. There was at least two other small children in the cafe when we left but it's by no means a crèche, a real mix of families and young couples/friends/ cool Brighton types. Changing facilities are upstairs but a small price to pay. Overall, a great find and we will be back soon!
