Bundles of fun will change to under 1's. The only groups for over 1's will be stay and play on a Monday. It feels like there isn't much available for toddlers and it is important they get the opportunity to Socialise.
Bundles of fun has been something we have accessed now for 2 years and very much enjoy and like having links to the children's Centre.
Bundles will now be under 1's and run by volunteers, but under 1's could go in the large room at the end of the children's centre as the toys they play with are more sensory and can be easily be set up in this room. We as parents/carers/grandparents would be willing to run an over 1's session in the main bundles room as the toys in there are more suitable for over 1's. It would have no extra cost, as the member of staff who needs to be available for the under 1's, could be available to the over 1's as well.
We as parents/carers would run it and take responsibility for setting up and clearing away.
It would run at the same time so no additional staff would be required.
It would give a lot of children the opportunity to maintain friendship they have already made and give them the opportunity to socialise and grow and develop - rather than having to stay at home. It also gives parents the opportunity to socialise, get out the house and support each other.
It wouldn't have any additional costs to the children's centre and would provide so much, to so many children and their parents/carers/grandparents.
I appreciate there is a group on a Monday but a lot of us work on Mondays
