Starting Reception is a big step – and your little one will be trying lots of new things every day! 🌟

Helping them practise at home can make all the difference, boosting their confidence and helping them feel happy and settled at school.

A simple way to do this? Try exploring new foods together – especially healthy snacks like fruit! 🍎🍌

If getting your child to try fruit feels like a challenge, come along to our next Stay & Play session where we’ll enjoy a healthy snack. Seeing other children try new things (and being in a fun, different environment) can really help encourage them to have a go too!

Ahead of Father’s Day this weekend, we wanted to tell you about Dads’ Club 💙

Being a dad is one of the most important jobs there is — but it isn’t always easy. After all, children don’t come with a manual!

We know just how special dads are and the incredible bond they share with their children.

But it’s important to take time for yourself too — and that’s exactly what Dads’ Club is for.

Join us on the 3rd Wednesday of each month — a relaxed space to unwind, chat, and connect with other dads.

Our next Dads’ Club is TOMORROW:
📅Wednesday 17 June
🕒6:00pm
📍Platform One Youth Hub, Hemsworth (WF9 4AB)
No need to book!

Cant’ make tomorrow’s? Get the one after in your calendar:
📅Wednesday 15 July
