Stay and play

Being at home with a baby or toddler isn’t always fun and games. Yes, there are moments that make us smile or melt our hearts, but it can also be pretty lonely and – dare we say it? – boring.

If you’re desperate for a change of scene and some adult company, we’re here to help with our guide to stay and play baby and toddler groups in your area.

Stay and play groups are brilliant for tots of all ages, from newborn to pre-school, and provide them with a safe environment to discover new toys and get used to socialising with other kids.

They’re usually inexpensive (or even free), and more structured activities like craft, singing or games are often arranged for you to take part in with your child.

Best of all, you get to enjoy a hot cup of tea and some grown-up conversation while your little one is entertained: perfect!
