What’s on

The group will be run by the Torbay Portage Service and offers parents and their children with special educational needs an opportunity to attend a small toddler group.

The aims of the group are:

• To give parents opportunities to meet one another and the Portage Home Visitors and for staff to get to know families and children.
• 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.

For more information, go to Torbay Small Steps Group – Family Hub.

For further support, you can contact the Portage team at portageeam@torbay.gov.uk or via our Facebook Page: Torbay Portage Service.

This is a drop in Well Baby clinic run by our 0 to 19 Torbay health visiting team and takes place every Wednesday, 1:00pm – 2:30pm.
