Parent and Toddler Groups are informal sessions run by a member of staff from the playgroup.  They usually involve free play with a story, sing-a-long and arts and crafts.  They provide a meeting place for mums, dads, grandparents and carers with babies and small children to relax and chat together while their children play.

 

Ultimately parent and toddler groups make a great contribution to life and the community.  They offer opportunities for friendship, support, learning and fun. 

 

At Hempsted Playgroup and Toddlers, Our aim is to bring to the families:

 

• A safe and happy environment for children to play, learn and interact.

• A welcoming place for all parents and carers to make friends and feel supported - a place of trust and safety.

• A listening ear - it can offer a lifeline to families in crisis and support for parents having a tough time or who are just dealing with the ongoing demands of young children.

• The basis for developing long-lasting relationships for young families looking for friendship and support.

• The starting point for going forward, maybe branching out into parenting groups and other supportive courses, which offer a surrogate , or extended, family to parents, carers and children who attend.

• Please feel free to pop in, we are all very friendly and would love to meet you.
