Wokingham

A new parent, carer and toddler group at Wokingham Youth Centre gets up and running.

Starting on Wednesday April 22, Wokingham parents and toddlers are invited to meet up between 9.30am and 11am every Wednesday. The centre, on Reading Road in Wokingham, has recently bought some new toys and children can also enjoy sandpits, singing, paddling and playing with water, and arts and crafts, whilst parents and carers can enjoy refreshments and the chance to meet other parents.

The Wokingham scheme will run on a membership basis and there will be an annual charge of £2 per year for parents and carers. There will also be a small charge each week - £1 per child and 50 pence per additional sibling.

Richard Ferguson from Wokingham Youth Centre, said: “This is an example of one of the community projects and activities Wokingham Youth Centre offers local residents other than activities just for young people. We wanted to provide a safe environment for parents and carers to bring their children, where they come together to play, learn and chat. All parents, carers and children are welcome and we look forward to seeing many of them at the first session next month.”
