Timetable change alert !
From the 23rd Feb (when we come back after half-term week), we will be changing our sessions schedule. Baby Group and Crawlers and Explorers will swap days.
Crawlers and Explorers will now be on Monday morning 9.30-11am.
Baby Group will be on Tuesday afternoon 1-2.30pm.
This will hopefully allow our Crawlers and Explorers who have more set nap times to enjoy their after lunch rest, and give families with non-movers the opportunity to attend both Sensory Play for Babies (bookings only) on a Monday afternoon and the regular drop-in Baby Group on the Tuesday afternoon, should they wish to do so.
