We know that many educators juggle the responsibilities of teaching with parenting or childcare too. With the summer holidays in full swing, we think every parent or guardian should know where kids eat free or cheap this summer!

You might be surprised to know just how many restaurants and cafes offer big discounts for kids, and with the increasing cost of living in the UK, this can be a huge help for parents.

We’ve compiled a list of our top places that let kids eat free (or for a low price) this summer!
