Broughshane and
District Mothers and Toddlers Group
This group meets in the Community Centre
on Wednesday mornings from 10.00 am to 12 noon, usually during
normal school term-time. Approximately 40 mothers belong to
the group. Each mother pays £1 per week and may bring
more than one child, usually up to 3 years of age, though there
is no age limit.
The group has the use of the large hall and
toys from the playgroup. Jigsaws and books are also available
for the children and there is a baby corner for small babies
which is equipped with soft toys. The group tries to vary the
activities and equipment available to the children each week.
During the morning juice and toast are served
to the children and mothers have tea or coffee with scones and
biscuits. Any money left over, after expenses are paid, goes
to the Christmas party, Easter eggs and perhaps a summer picnic.
Mothers and toddlers come from the whole
area and mothers are encouraged to join in and help spread the
workload of setting out equipment, making refreshments and clearing
up afterwards. Each mother is responsible for her own children.
Anyone wishing to come is very welcome, just
turn up any Wednesday morning. Fathers and child-minders are
also welcome!
