Almondbury TOTS (Time Out Tinies)
This Thursday afternoon group has now been running successfully since January 2006. Mums and Dads along with
other carers including nannies, au pairs, and grandparents bring along pre-school aged children for a wide variety of
structured activities.
There is a designated baby area with soft mats and toys for those youngsters who are not yet walking,
a role play area for imaginative play, an area with bikes, slides, tunnels for more physical play, a craft area, and a book corner.
Due to careful resourcing it is possible to provide a change of activity from week to week to keep children interested and
excited. Each week there is a fun singing time with action songs and a noisy musical instrument session.
The group values those volunteers who are on the 'Welcome & Tea & Coffee' rota. They welcome newcomers as they arrive and provide them
with information about the group then make a much appreciated snack for the children and an even more appreciated hot drink for the
parents and carers.
There are currently around 30 names on the register with about 20
attending each week, showing what a popular and needed facility
The Wesley Centre provides.
Some comments from those who use the group:
"We love the rhyme time and the variety of toys"
"A very organised and constructive group"
"A very nice sociable group, very welcoming and well organised"
"Nice to get a cup of tea made for us!"
"We brave two buses to come and my girls love it to bits!"
"Dads made welcome"
"A safe environment is provided"
"A good opportunity to chat to and compare notes with other carers"
The group meets between 1.30pm and 3pm each Thursday afternoon.
Newcomers are always welcome. Check This Week's Diary for further information. |
