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.

Join Us for:

• Support and Information: Our trained Infant Feeding peer supporters are here to help you.
• Social Interaction: Connect with other parents and share experiences.
• For All Ages: Whether you’re expecting a baby or have a little one, this group is for you.
• No Booking Required: Just drop in and feel welcome!

Every Wednesday at The Beehive Family Hub.
