These sessions are maybe my favourite moment of the week with my son. We love the singing, all the toys to discover and the chance to meet other parents.

It is tremendously helpful and supportive for us as a family to be able to meet and play with other families in the community.

Good opportunity to connect with other children and parents. There's a good selection of toys, everyone is engaged and the songs are a great way to finish off

A really lovely group – always appreciate the warm welcome and friendly chats! A fun mix of toys and the song time is a great way to end the session
