Parent and Toddler Groups

Parent and Toddler groups are an excellent way to meet other parents and for your young children to socialise with others of a similar age. They usually welcome babies too and are nearly always very cheap. Most of them offer a range of activities from cutting and sticking to singing and story telling. If you have a group which you would like listed please contact us to let us know. Groups regularly come and go and it is not always possible for us to be completely up to date. We would advise contacting the group beforehand just to check they're still going.
