Every adult needs their own space. This means that every adult needs their own account. If two adults are bringing one child, that's fine - just both book a space with the same child's details.
You CAN NOT cancel individual weeks on course bookings, it will cancel the entire booking. If you are unable to make a week please email parent_support@sandwell.gov.uk
Our courses are designed to support your child's development in lots of key areas whilst providing their adult carer time and space to connect with others. To help you choose what you and your child will enjoy attending they are categorised as follows:
"Busy Babies" - providing babies with experiences as they learn about our world
"Busy Bodies" - encouraging movement, co-ordination and gross motor skills
"Busy Hands" - encouraging exploration of the senses and fine motor skills
"Busy Minds" - providing new experiences for older children to stretch their imagination
We will be monitoring attendance at these sessions and if you miss two weeks you may be removed from the course.
Our "Ready to Learn" sessions are a brand new offer aimed at 3 and 4 year olds to support the skills they need to be ready to start School Reception. You will be able to book two courses from this category.
