Is there a charge?

For each Woodcote Baby and Toddler Group session there is a charge of £1.50 per family. This covers the running costs and refreshments.

Who is responsible for running the Group?

The Group is run on a voluntary basis by a committee of parents and carers who attend the Group with their children.

What are my responsibilities as a member of the Group?

For the Group to continue to run smoothly, and for the happiness and safety of all, parents and carers who attend the Group are required to:

Ensure the child safety door at the entrance is securely closed at all times.
Welcome newcomers to the Group
Advise a committee member of any broken/unsafe equipment.
Return cups to the kitchen.
Supervise their own child/children at all times, particularly at the craft table
Complete a registration form for health and safety.
Help with washing up and clearing away whenever possible.

All parents and carers are responsible for the behaviour and safety of their own children at each session.

What should I do if I've never been before?

Come along to a session and there will be someone to greet you at the door (if not please shout!). Alternatively, if you would like more information, or someone to go along with, please phone 01491 682300 and leave a message.

Term Dates

The term dates follow those of the Woodcote Primary School.

Suggestions

The committee is always keen to receive any comments or suggestions on the Group from those like you who attend.

If you would like to become more involved with the running of the Group please let the committee know; all interest will be welcomed!

The Baby Club

We have recently started a new baby club, with its own special room and equipment. This allows parents and carers of babies to socialise in a quiet toddler free environment. This will also be a venue for occasional post-natal sessions held by the health visitor.

The Baby Club runs in the new extension of the Village Hall at the same time as the Baby and Toddler Group.

For each baby club session there is a charge of 50p per family. This covers the running costs and refreshments.
