In our health visiting team, we are seeing these products are becoming more popular. Please do not buy them, as they increase the risk of sudden infant death and pose a risk once baby can move, as well as the risk of suffocation.

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we all last met. I keep thinking how all the children will have grown, and how new babies will never have had the opportunity to come and play.

Hopefully, things will get better. As soon as we can we will open up once again. Keep safe. Xx

Hello! I hope you are all keeping well. I have had an email from the Methodist Church to say that they may not allow groups back in until the New Year. I have my fingers crossed that this may be sooner.

In the meantime, I was wondering if, when the schools return in September, we could have a Thursday park meet up to get the group back together. I could provide tea and biscuits!

Also, if anyone has any ideas of toys that they would like to see in the Toy Library, please post your suggestions below.

Keep safe everyone ###
