With fond memories of connecting with her grandmother when younger, Tammy Wardle has opened her new business, Ma Petite Cherie, based on her childhood experiences of high teas.

The kids spa and tea venue on Manning St had a red carpet opening today.

Upon stepping inside, you are transported to a French inspired cafe with glittering crystal chandeliers and elegant proportions - that is very pink. 

What a birthday treat for the young ones - high tea followed by a foot spa with bath bombs and a chocolate facial whilst wearing silk robes and being pampered.

The beauty treatment is followed by games and treat packages.

Tammy says that after the initial launch with the girls high tea and spas her brand will expand to other options for children as well as letting adults get a go.

"We will be offering slime parties, jewellery making, cup cake decorating and holiday workshops, as well as events for adults," she says.

The complete transformation of the space was undertaken by new local firm, Lighthouse Projects, who worked hard to get the room ready for the opening.
