Spring Activity Programme is now available
Wednesday, 07 Dec 2011
The new spring activity programme for January to March is now available. Again we have tried to keep bookable sessions to a minimum. Please note that for some of the drop in sessions e.g. Toddler and Young Children's Rhyme Time due to the size of the venue there are restrictions on the number of families we can have to comply with Fire Safety Regulations, so places will be on a first come first serve basis. Unfortunately it may sometimes be necessary to turn families away. We do monitor this very carefully and if it becomes a regular occurance we may need to make these sessions bookable while we look for an alternative venue.
The booking window for bookable sessions opens on Tuesday 13th December. To be fair to everyone if you have come along to the last course of a bookable session you will not automatically be given a place on the current course, but we will put your name on a continued interest list and if a place becomes available we will let you know.

Advice and information for families from the Department for Children, Schools and Families
Tuesday, 30 Mar 2010
We have updated our links page with links to two websites that provide information and advice for families:
The Family Information Direct programme (until 20 January 2010 the Parent Know How programme) aims to provide information, advice and support to all parents - mums, dads, grandparents, carers and other adults with caring responsibility and families in England on a range of issues they may face in bringing up children.
www.dcsf.gov.uk/familyinformationdirect
Relate for Parents offer parenting support, ideas, guidance, support and information for those who are searching for something that will make a difference. Our focus will usually be on the relationship or relationships that influence your role as a parent.
