I have been attending the Sure Start sessions at Cotgrave for around 3 years and have found them to be invaluable, I am Grandmother to two children from Cotgrave and live in the Village myself and have seen during my visits the benefits from these sessions. The activities on offer are always stimulating and fun, giving the children the chance to undertake play that might not normally be on offer at home and inspiring parents/carers to try these themselves. During my time at these sessions I have seen the service users coming to staff with issues, some openly discussed and I imagine many conversations that have taken place in a quiet space and this again can be invaluable and stop problems enlarging which must also at some point save money in the long term.
The highly experienced staff give parents/carers confidence to help their children explore new concepts in play in a safe not judgmental environment and are always welcoming.In conclusion I hope this service can continue to offer support for grandparents like myself and invaluable play opportunities for the children of Cotgrave and the wider community.
