Time 4 Two's - a fun place for children to learn and grow
Time 4 Two's continues to meet at St Catherine's Church each Friday during term time between 10.30 and 12.00. We offer a warm social space where parents, carers, and children aged 2 to 5 can enjoy various fun activities, refreshments, friendship, and fellowship.
We have been fortunate to receive funding from Awards for All to help us in what we seek to do including special sessions of Forest School and gardening activities to utilise the benefits of outdoor learning.
Anyone free on a Friday morning is welcome to call in, and if you know anyone who might like to bring their pre-schooler to the sessions then please tell them to come and try us out. Older people who might want to consider helping by volunteering are welcome to call in for a cup of coffee.
