The programme, which takes place weekly on Wednesdays between 1.45pm and 2.45pm, is designed to give parents the chance to learn techniques to ‘sooth and stimulate’ their children in a ‘fun and relaxed environment’.
Sally, who has lived in the area for 30 years and has been a qualified instructor for more than two years, said she chose the hub to extend the variety of services the former hospital building offers.
She added: “The class gives new parents valuable opportunities to engage in social activity with others, which is as important for their wellbeing as parenting can be isolating and overwhelming.”
