Croydon Family Groups runs 9 Family Groups throughout Croydon
Generally speaking, all families with children under the age of five are welcomed to join the groups by simply dropping in.
There are no fees, but a voluntary contribution of £1 per session would be welcomed.
While the parents engage in craft activities around the table under the guidiance of a group leader, the children are being looked after in the same room or the room next door by a play team.
Comments from the parents always are positive like the examples below:
A break from daily stress!
It's the only break I get – nice to interact with others without having to constantly keep one eye on the baby
[I] met other mothers and had a chance to do different things
I enjoyed every single activity
Being asked how the child(ren) profit, we obtained statements such as:
[my child learns] to be independent
[my child learns] sharing toys with other kids
[my child] learn[s] to do art work by herself
[my child gained] confidence ... she really looks forward to seeing [them] each week
