Mother / parent and baby or toddler groups

[Raychul69]

I live in Halfway Jane and I think they have a baby and toddler group round here somewhere. I've only just had my little boy so gonna wait a few weeks but once I've settled into motherhood I'm gonna have a sniff round and see what there is

Hi, I live in Beighton and I don't know of any groups, other than Bizzy Bees where you have to book.

Hi, there are mother and baby/toddler sessions at bizzy bees - you have to book & pay in advance. - Although this sounds like a big commitment, I found these good as if people are paying to keep there place they tend to always turn up each week and you can really make proper friends there.

 

There are also mother/baby toddler sessions at Emmanuel church on a wednesday lunchtime onwards - this is a nice big warm hall in Waterthorpe.

 

There are also sessions at waterthorpe community room (attached to Emmauel school) - but I didnt find these as friendly as other groups - a bit clicky!

 

Halfway school has some on a Monday I think.

 

Hackenthorpe - christ church wednesday cant remember the time.

 

Good advice is to look in the free newspapers that come weekly in the 'whats on' section & to ask your health visitor - altho mine only reccomended christ church.

 

Hope this helps

Just turn up:) I think its a 10 am start but its really relaxed and fantastic for people with babies as most toddler groups aren't really setup for babies:) Also if you are a breastfeeding mum there is a fantastic dropin held at Hillsborough Childrens Library on a Monday morning 10.30am start. There was a thread discussing groups last week here

Hi everyone..I am trying to recruit more mums, dads and carers to our baby and toddler group at Eckington Library. It runs on Monday morning 9.30am to 11.30am. We are hoping to get it going again as the numbers dwindled down with the last nursery uptake!!!

 

The way in is at the back of the library..pram friendly entrance! PM me if you have any questions! Sarah

If you have tried to attend recently and there was no one there..please come again. We have now started up again..hope to see you there....Sarah. Please PM me if you want to know anything.
