PLEASE NOTE NOTE CAFES ARE RUNNING AT PRESENT DUE TO COVID-19, AWAITING OPENING DATES

Take 5 cafés are FREE informal small group sessions where expectant parents and parents/carers with children under 6 months are welcome.

Each session is part of a rolling programme based on the five to thrive approach which highlights five key activities:

Staff provide practical advice, support and ideas for activities helping to support healthy personal, social and emotional development in your baby.
