Thursday Mum Club- Stamford
​This group is for all Mums who want a friendly, safe space to grab a cuppa and have a natter.
Make a much needed village by meeting other Mums.
Share tips, reassurances and advice from getting through the early days, sleepless nights, feeding, weaning, baby wearing, to challenging toddler behaviours and more.
Share your mini victories and, share your moans!
Treat yourself to a cuppa & a slice of cake.
Starting Thursday 12th September
This will be held at the Arts Centre, seating next to the Ballroom.
Pushchair/pram friendly with changing facilities.
9:30-12pm
No need to book, just turn up.​
Do you need to bring anything?
Bring yourself (whatever kind of day you’re having), bring your little one, bring a couple of small toys perhaps as I won’t be able to provide these, at least not initially.
As well as Sarah running some sessions herself on returning to work with confidence, and general well-being tips, there will be some guest speakers offering advice or services in the coming weeks, and hopefully some taster sessions of classes too.
For more information contact Sarah on Instagram.

Our Tots 'n' Toast group runs every Thursday morning between 9am and 11am during term times. It is a welcoming group for children and their families and carers.
We serve tea, coffee, juice, and of course fruit toast for everyone.
We welcome pre-school aged children from birth right up to reception year, and their attending adults of course. The tots play whilst the grown-ups look on and chat. All can enjoy some fruit toast with tea, coffee or squash in a safe and stimulating environment; a place where they can feel they belong
We offer songs and crafts, toys and stories from the Bible to share the word of Jesus through play. The crafts and colouring that we offer are linked to the Bible story for that session and is followed by children’s songs for all to enjoy.
The vision of Tots 'n' Toast is for families to make friends while the young children enjoy the play and craft activities on offer, making their own new friends too!
