Little Diamonds is a small stay and play group for children with additional needs and those who care for them.

Our weekly Little Diamonds drop in (term time only) starts back next Wednesday 9th September at the new time of 1-2.30pm at Stanwell Family Centre. Hopefully this earlier time will be better for parents having to do a school run and more families can attend our group.
