Oxnam Parent & Baby/Toddler Group was set up in October 2003 as a way of getting the community together. The group meets weekly in school term time from 9.30am –11am in Oxnam Village Hall. We invite all preschool age children to attend with parents.
In December 2003 we applied for a lottery grant of £2500 which was spent on equipment and storage. We have purchased soft play equipment, a slide, pop up tents and tunnels, a ball pool, a play table, large lego bricks and mats as well as some small ride on toys.
We have approximately 14 adults and 16 babies/children who regularly attend our sessions. We offer a chance to chat get to know other parents and a chance for children and parents to learn social skills. We offer refreshments and work a rota system for making refreshments and often people bring homebaking along.
We often have visits from seesaw clothing. We are given a percentage of the sales for the group funds and get to buy clothes for the children as well.
