For those of you who have not attended previously, this event is a relaxed drop in session, with no RSVP required, and is open for all members to attend. It is a great opportunity for our newer members (expectant parents too), to come along and chat to other parents of multiples. Parents of multiples are always most happy to share some hints, tips, and a funny story or two about raising multiples! We are always happy to assist anyone needing an extra hand to get from your car into the playgroup (it is only a very short walk from the car park to the playgroup centre). There are microwave facilities for warming bottles etc, and a baby change room. We would love to make you a hot cuppa, so you can take a break and meet some other parents of multiples, and make some wonderful connections while doing this. There is also a lovely outdoor play area for older children to keep busy in the fresh air! We look forward to seeing you there!
