Parent and toddler groups

Parent and toddler groups are usually run by local voluntary groups. They generally cater for the age range from birth to 5 years and run during term time, although some meet in the school holidays.

They offer you and your child the chance to socialise with other families in your area.

The cost can vary. Some are free, some may expect a contribution and others will have a set fee per child or per family.

See our online request form to request a list of local parent and toddler groups or visit the national Childcarefinder website to find out more (please note this is a new site and work is ongoing to improve the search facility and information available).
