Feeling the weight of the proverb ‘it takes a village to raise a child’? Look no further than the Little Houses Group, giving busy parents a 5-in-1 monthly membership: state-of-the-art gyms, dynamic fitness classes, fun kids classes, modern co-work spaces and exceptional childcare.

As a parent navigating London with three young kids – Jaego, Jesse and Orly – LHG founder Charlie Gardiner envisioned creating vibrant spaces that catered to both parents and children alike. Jaego’s & Jesse’s Houses serve as lively sanctuaries where kids can unleash their energy in a jungle gym or kids’ club, while parents enjoy serene areas for work, workouts or wellness.

JESSE’S HOUSE
NEW FAMILIES CLUB OPENS ITS DOORS IN WEST LONDON

Brand new to Parsons Green (opened 14th August), the eagerly awaited sequel to Jaego’s House in Kensal Rise is the newest addition to LHG. Highlights include an indoor and outdoor pool (with swim school for babies to 10-year-olds), Reformer Pilates studio, treatment rooms, a co-working space, a kids club and creche. In this technicolour paradise for children, there’s also a mini sports pitch, a jungle gym, soft play, kids’ cinema room and more.

Jesse’s House also has a proper restaurant – Lucy’s, named after Charlie’s wife. Unlike the usual soft play cafes, here Executive Chef Eryk Bautista whips up delicious dishes like Salmon Tartare, Orzo Puttanesca and Poached Sea Bass – while Lune + Wild provides kid-friendly options. For those in a rush, there’s the ‘Grab & Go’ courtyard café, which includes savvy ‘one-handed’ options for multi-tasking parents, pureed food for weaning babies and a handy Milk Bar – so no more flustered fumbling with formula.
