Carer and Toddler Groups
Dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, childminders carers and babies as well as mums and toddlers are all welcome to join a ‘mums and tots’ group!
It is no longer 'the norm' for mum to be at home with the children whilst dad goes out to work so if you are a dad with a four month old baby, don’t feel excluded, just phone up or call in. You will both be made to feel very welcome.
