Trainmaster has already been operating for 18 months in and around Hampshire and was conceived, almost by accident, after the birth of Chloe Cotton’s son Jasper. She couldn’t find train themed activities for him and he didn’t enjoy the other toddler groups out there. Chloe had 3 boys in 3 years and started Trainmaster in the hope that other people had train crazy kids too!

The business has gone from strength to strength and now Chloe has taken on other mums to help move into new counties! Trainmaster Kent is run by Laura, mum of two children, who just love to build massive tracks. Laura started the Kent events last month and is always looking for new parts of the local area to come and play trains.

Trainmaster run public events where they hire out halls and fill them with giant hands-on train tracks, lots of trains, fancy dress, crafts, ride on trains and more. They are the perfect activity for not only train-mad toddlers and children but because of the other activities they find that all children enjoy their events.

They also offer private parties and can bring the train fun to a hall of your choice, your house, nursery or school!

They are also an inclusive environment and welcome all train fans to come and play together.

Where necessary they work with parents to do what is needed to allow their child to join the fun. Trains can be a big interest for children with autism and parents often comment how their events keep their child calm.

Their first Dartford events took place on 3rd November and both sessions were a sell-out. They are back again on 28th December for two back to back sessions. Tickets are available in advance of the events through their website and they offer a sibling discount too!
