FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

A small street.
A whole lot
of heart.

It started with a mother, a daughter, and one big imagination.

Tracey and Terri Bromley opened Let’s Pretend in 2019, creating a place in Hartlepool where children could explore, play and simply be themselves.

That family feeling is still at the heart of our little street. A friendly hello, space to make new friends, and a world of possibilities for your little one.

We’d love to welcome you
