Toddler and me group


An informal group for families with children aged 1 and 2 years, that allows you to mix with other parents and helps to get your child ready to go to nursery.

Each week will focus on a different aspect of your child's development, including:

  • Messy play where your child can enjoy sensory play with lots of different experiences of sounds, touch and smell.
  • Opportunities for your child to play with children their own age.
  • Rhyme and stories to support your child's speech and language development.
  • Outside play with opportunities for your child to run, jump and use their physical skills to support and develop their coordination skills.

Staff will be on hand to provide advice and support around your child's health, supporting your child's development and keeping your child safe.

The groups are free and run for 90 minutes, once a week. Don't worry if you can't make the start or need to leave early - these are drop-in sessions, and you can stay for as long as you like.

We run Toddler and Me groups every week in most of our Family Hubs - Find out what's on at your nearest Family Hub. Find out below where your nearest group is.
