What’s on

Do you work with children aged 0-2 or their families? Become a Building Babies’ Brain Champion by joining us on our Building Babies’ Brains fully funded series of workshops.

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.
