For children aged 6 weeks to 6 years and their parents/carers

When a child isn’t meeting their developmental milestones, early support and engagement can be beneficial for your child and family as a whole.
 
Our free Supported Playgroup offers a fun, relaxed environment where kids of all abilities participate in arts and craft, learn a key word sign and enjoy story time.
