The packed out community café run by primary school children

You won't find pupils at one Swansea valley primary school in the classroom on a Friday morning. They are too busy serving customers at the 'Cuppalicious' cafe- a registered business in the heart of Clydach which is run by small groups of year five and six pupils each week.

But don't be fooled by the sweet name and young age of the employees- this cafe is a serious operation. In fact, I'm even told by a girl who could not be more than 11 that there are no tables left for customers when I arrived at the door this morning.

In fairness, she was absolutely right. The cafe was packed as kids in aprons took orders from parents, local residents and fellow pupils. Each young server eagerly brought out mountains of toast, big cooked breakfasts and drinks to their customers who later paid at the till which was also run by primary school kids.
