It’s lots of fun and can help with development, as well as being a social activity for the parents – we have a structured 30 min lesson then there is free tea, coffee and biscuits afterwards. Classes take place on Fridays (term time) 10am to 11am at the United Free church (opposite the police station). Call 01656 862725 or 07956 241878 to book a place
