The Torbay Portage Service would like to offer parents and their pre-school children with additional needs an opportunity to attend a small parent and child group. It will take place each week and will be run by two Portage home visitors.

The aims of the groups are:

• To give parents opportunities to meet one another and the Portage Home Visitors.
• For parents to be able to ask questions and share support ideas.
• For children to be able to experience accessible play and learning experiences within a small group.
• For staff members to share play and learning ideas to meet young children’s needs.

A welcoming group where children aged 0-5 years can experience fun activities which help their physical and mental wellbeing.

No need to book, just drop in.

This group is for babies aged 0–12 months, offering a variety of activities to support their development, with drop in feeding support available. However your feeding journey looks, you are always welcome – whether you’re looking for practical help, a listening ear, or simply a space to spend time with your baby.

Check our What’s On pages for dates and times. See you there!

Every Monday at St Edmunds.

Would you like more information on when and how to start your baby on solid food? If so, come along to one of our drop in information sessions held each month at our Feed and Nurture Groups. A Community Nursery Nurse will be there with resources and to talk through the process. Please come along If you have any questions or worries about starting solids.
