🌞💛 What a summer it’s been! 💛🌞

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us at our Starting Well events across the summer! 🥰

From magical shows and messy play to teddy bear adventures, there’s been plenty of fun, laughter, creativity and opportunities for families to make memories together. ✨

We’ve loved hearing what families thought about the events, including:

💬 “It was a great interactive show for all children. My two thoroughly enjoyed it.”

💬 “Creative and engaging” — with songs, interactions and even standing in the bubble being particular favourites! They also loved the opportunity to explore and make new friends. 🎶

💬 “Enchanting event, don't think it were only kids who were mesmerised.” ✨

🌻 Although summer has come to an end, the fun doesn’t stop! 🌻

Keep an eye on our What’s On Guides to see what’s coming up at your local Family Hub. There are lots more activities, events and opportunities for families to enjoy together.
