in West Wickham, running on termtime Fridays from 10am-12pm. We regularly welcome 15-25 parents/carers and their children up to and including preschool age. With tea, coffee, biscuits aplenty, and lots to keep the children entertained, what more could you ask for? We have an area for newborns and crawlers, and for the older children there are ride-ons, puzzles, colouring in, dressing up and books.
some new mums, as a local group you can come to and make some new mummy friends, share experiences, to have a hot drink (made for you!) It can be daunting as a first-time parent even trying to get out of the house, so BB&B can be a great weekly event to aim for to get some much-needed chat while you find your feet.
We would like to take
this opportunity to thank all
our fantastic volunteers who give their time and effort to keep our playgroups running. If you could volunteer for the rotas, even for one week a month, please contact [email protected]
Bumps, Babies and Beyond is our friendly playgroup
We run themed events throughout the year, the latest being our Halloween party, complete with fancy dress competition, very wet apple bobbing and musical zombies. We also welcomed local photographer, Sue Fitzgerald, for our half term special in October to capture some beautiful family pictures. It's always a popular session, as these make ideal Christmas presents. Seeing the photographs that resulted, you would never think that they were taken at a noisy toddler group, with lots going on in the background. Our next event is our Christmas party on Friday 16 December, so come down for a mince pie and get festive with us!
