Bright Stars Baby & Toddler Group
Our baby and toddler group is on Wednesday mornings at 10.30am. We provide a welcoming and lively space for parents and children to gather and grow. Our activities will include ‘messy play’, story and song, games (guest speakers), snacks, tidy-up and new equipment which will allow both you as the parent/carer and your child to meet friends, explore new things and learn. For some parents, grandparents and carers, the weekly catch-up and opportunity for children to play and make new friends is enough. For others, the support makes them that bit more confident in their parenting role. Cost €5.50 per family. Call us on 0404 45600 if you have any questions about the group.
