PLAYGROUP UPDATE… As some of you may already know, I’m expecting a baby in just 6 days time 😬👶🏻

I just wanted to pop a quick post on to let everyone know that playgroup sessions are now temporarily paused whilst I take some time off to welcome our new addition into the world 🌎

I will update you all on social media when bookings re-open and sessions are due to resume again.

Any messages and emails will be responded to in due course - thank you for your patience and understanding 🫶🏻
