YOUR PLAYFUL MOMENTS

Your Playful Moments offer 6 week parent group programmes to parents and carers of babies in waiting (in the womb!) all the way up to 5 years old. Parents and carers have busy lives and face an overload of information about what you should be doing, what you should not be doing and what you should know, possibly feeling named, blamed and shamed. Sometimes the information can contradict what you have read was ‘right’, creating confusion and overwhelm. Your Playful Moments acknowledges that you need to feel nurtured too so that you can then nurture your child. Through our programmes, we offer you the time and the emotionally safe space to simply be and play with your child with minimal distractions in a gentle, non-judgemental environment, while learning new skills that will benefit both you and your child because both yours and your child's wellbeing matter equally.
