Free, fun-filled Play & Learn summer sessions in Grove!

📅 Mondays: 3 August and 17 August, 10 – 11am
📍 St. John The Baptist Church

Through play, little ones can explore, discover and learn at their own pace while building confidence, creativity and key early development skills. From messy play and sensory activities to storytelling, songs and imaginative play, there's something to bring smiles to every child’s face.

Make new friends, meet other local families and pick up ideas on how you can help your child learn at home.

The Family Hub team will also be on hand to give advice on everything from pregnancy and local baby groups to parenting advice, child development support and help with everyday challenges.
