Children and young people of all ages enjoy meeting and experiencing new things to do. Often Parents and carers can go with their children to join in the fun and activities. Parents and carers can go with their young children to different activities such as baby massage, parent and toddler groups, story time and rhyme time, football and Children Centre activities. As children get older they may want to get involved in sports, music or activities that teach them new skills.
