Stay & Play

Our Stay & Play timetable is packed full of fun and informative sessions for you and your little ones!

Joining baby and toddler groups are not only fun but they can help prepare your child for nursery school by improving language and social skills. It can also be great for you to meet other parents and carers, share stories and make friends.

We also have sessions to support breastfeeding mums, sessions just for dads and male carers, sessions to support children with SEN and more.
