What’s on

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.

This is a drop in Well Baby clinic run by our 0 to 19 Torbay health visiting team and takes place every Monday, 9:30am-11:00am.

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.
