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.
Toddler groups are good for baby because…
- They offer the opportunity to play and make friends
- They encourage children to try new experiences
- They can experiment with new materials such as playdough and paint
- They provide the building blocks for more formal learning later on in your childs life
Toddler groups are good for parents and carers because…
- They offer a great support network where members are able to share experiences
- Practical help and advice can be offered and information shared
- You can watch your child play and develop
Prices
Carer and toddler groups usually charge a fee of about £2.00 per session.
