We hope you’ve all enjoyed your summer holiday! Toddler’s will be back tomorrow morning for more fun and activities for your little ones, and a great chance to meet/catch up with other parents and carers in the area ☺️ we look forward to seeing you!

We’re looking forward to the last playgroup session before the summer! ☀️🌻🏖️🏝️
There will be outdoor play, pull along and ride on toys, some jigsaws and books, summer theme giant colouring sheet, fancy dress, bubbles, tattoos and the parachute game! If you want to come along in party wear or own fancy dress, this is encouraged! 🥳🎈👗

You are also welcome to bring something to share for our party food (if shop bought please bring packaging for food allergy advice, and if you want to bring fruit please cut it up first!)

Playgroup will recommence from the 7th September!

See you in the morning! 😍💕

We are looking forward to our final playgroup party next Monday, before the summer holidays!!!
If you would like to contribute something for the party food please feel free to do so! 🍰
We will be having the parachute and glow sticks, tempory tattoos, games, bubbles, simple crafts and our party food! Weather permitting we will also have our usual outdoor play and water trays ☀️🕶️💦

Please also don’t forget to take home your decorated vases and stone bumble bees from today’s session!

Playgroup will then reopen from 7th September onwards with new team leading the sessions!

We look forward to our penultimate toddlers group tomorrow!
We will be doing some bee related painting crafts (please wear rough clothes but aprons are provided,) and also decorating jam jars for wild flowers which we will display as table decorations next week, during our final playgroup party before the summer!!

Outdoor play arranged and minimal indoor bits (again no slides due to the heat).

Once again, reminder that next week will be Lucy’s final week- we STILL require someone/ideally a team of people to take over the set up and running of toddlers.
If we can’t find anyone to help then regrettably the group will need to close, which would be a huge loss to local families in the area.

The group can be taken on, on a rota style if there are multiple people who may consider helping out and could spread out the commitment.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to help the community and an ideal chance to meet other mums and children in the area so please do consider it!

If you are interested, please speak to Lucy tomorrow ☺️

We had an amazing day yesterday at the splash park, a big thank you to everyone who came along! Everyone had fun in the park, sandpit, splash park, ice creams and coffees for the grownups! 😎☀️💦

We only have 2 more playgroup sessions to go before the summer holidays! Next week we’re bumble bee rock painting 🐝 and decorating jam jars to put wild flowers in! 🫙🌸🌼 (remember messy clothes for painting and if you also have your own jam jar and a flat roundish rock, please do bring. We will supply what we can but any extras would be amazing!)

The last session will be a super fun Glow PARTY! 🌟⭐️🌟

See you all soon!

Hello all, just a reminder that tomorrow we would like to extend the opportunity for anyone wishing to join us at Gadebridge splash park- to cool off in this hot weather. Please ensure you are able to bring hat and sunscreen, picnic, water and swimsuits/wet weather gear and any thing you want to use in the park/sandpits area! ☀️💦🏖️

For those still wishing to come to the hall for toddlers, it will be a very relaxed session, Anne and Val will kindly be keeping the hall and garden area open- and will provide the usual teas/coffees - just help yourselves to any toys from the cupboard and please tidy away afterwards!

Our LAST 2 sessions before Sumer break are the 13th and 20th July!

REMINDER: we are still looking forward to someone to take over from me from September. This can be a group on a rota- taking turns to set up, greet new joiners and organise craft and oversee the tidy up.

This is a great opportunity to mee new people and help the community!

Looking forward to a sunny (but hopefully a bit cooler) toddlers today. Once again, more outdoor toys and less indoor toys set up. We will have water play, ride on toys, fancy dress, bubbles, chalk drawings and a simple craft to entertain and our usual singing at the end of session!

Tea/coffee and juice/water and snack provided for children- but please bring sun hats and sunscreen ☺️

******* INFO FOR NEXT WEEK (6th July)

Toddlers at the church hall WILL be on as normal HOWEVER, Lucy and Mabel will be at Gadebridge Splash Park and would love to extend the invite to anyone else who may be looking to cool off as the temperatures rise again 🥵 and before the rush of the school holidays!

If you decide to join Lucy instead of normal toddlers, feel free to bring a picnic, your own blanket and towels plus swimsuits and swim pants for those not potty trained. Lots of water and sunscreen!

Cafe at the park but sells mainly drinks and ice creams. More details below:
