HI

 

First time posting on Sheffield Forum for me! So hello to everyone!

 

 

Can anyone help me out ? Im looking for a mother and baby group in my area S8,(Norton Lees)

 

My baby is 6 months old and ready for some interaction with other little ones, Unfortunatley I do not have any mates with small children or babies, so have got to get out there and meet some new friends to talk nappies , dribble and weaning!!!! lol xx

 

thanks for your help

The Pavilion at the bottom of Meersbrook Park always used to have frequent (? daily)parent baby and toddler sessions.It was known as the Playcentre and may well still be on there.

Have you tried contacting the Children's information centre for a list of groups? Its on Leopold St but I'm sure there'll be a number in the phone book.

Hiya Becky - welcome to SF and to the Parenting Group.

We've got a megathread with lots of links about groups here:

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=181676.

You might find it useful to have a peek on there.

And, in my signature at the bottom of this section is a clickable link to the group I run in the city centre. We're open this afternoon too!

Hi Becky,

I live in S8 though my baby is not due til August! That may be a bit of a wait for you. I would have thought there are quite a few groups as I think S8 is where the NCT classes are based. Perhaps you could ask them

Thanks again

St James's Church have a mother and baby group run by a lady called Paula - you will be able to get her tel no for more details by contacting the parish or checking the boards outside.

 

My little boy is at school now and approaching 5 yrs old - but when he was a small baby they used to be groups meeting at the Rose Garden Cafe for pram pushes and storytime readings with a local gran etc

 

Hope this helps

Thats reminded me I think St Chads church and Woodseats methodist church both do groups, though thats woodseats not norton lees. I guess other churches probably closer

Hi, I am 22 and have a two year old and a 9 month old and we (all 3 of us!) need to socialise!! I live at S17 and my other half always has the car for work so I tend to be a bit stuck for transport and buses scare the life out of me with a twin pushchair and the two little ones. Anyone know of any local baby/toddler groups or have any helpful suggestions as to how we can all get out and meet new friends? I have heard of a few baby/toddler groups and the jellytots one in city centre sounds great but it scares the life out of me coming on my own so the buddy idea sounds great to me. Anyone who is in a siimilar situation or lives locally and knows of a more local baby/toddler group they would be willing to take me along to?! Know I'm asking a lot but just need a little push/help to get me and my little ones along to a much needed social group!
