0796619 4597 (manager) or 020 7641 5923 (office)
In addition, we have some useful activity sheets for you to download which we will add to each week with interesting things you can do with your child using items found in the home.
We know you cannot come to us at our children’s centres, so we are bringing sessions into your living room. We are working on uploading a story and a sign and rhyme session weekly and will include more information here shortly.
