Help and Advice

This Easter holidays we are running a 4 day theatre workshop in Old Town inspired by "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN." The children will be able to come each day, learn the songs and script from the film musical and on the final day perform this to their families. This is a fantastic opportunity for the children and I know all too well as an ex-primary school teacher that curriculum pressures on core subjects mean time for the performing arts is limited! And of course working parents love their children to be participating in valuable and educational childcare activities during the holidays.

In collaboration with the Maternity & Neonatal Partnership (MNVP) the Early Year Team are conducting a survey to see where pregnant people and parents of young children are getting their information from, this will help to ensure we are pushing out information in the right places.
