Everyone had a great time, making memories and enjoying every moment together – even the big children had fun on the slides😂 Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our final trip such a special one! 💙 ✨

Our little adventurers had the most exciting visit to the local fire station with their Portglenone friends today! 🚒✨ The children loved exploring the fire engine, meeting the firefighters, and learning all about how they help keep our community safe. There were lots of smiles, questions, and unforgettable memories made along the way. A huge thank you to the amazing firefighters Clodagh and Seamus for giving our playgroups such a warm and fun experience! ❤️👨‍🚒🧑‍🚒

A big thank you to everyone who joined our Parent Workshop it was lovely to see so many of you there and to have such open, thoughtful conversations throughout the session.

We explored a range of important topics that all play a part in children’s development, including:

• The impact of screen time on attention, behaviour, and sleep
• Gut health and how it can influence mood, learning, and overall wellbeing
• Regulation strategies to help children manage big emotions and build self-regulation skills
• Speech and language development, including typical milestones and what to expect at different ages

It was really great to connect with so many parents and carers, share ideas, and talk through practical strategies that can be used at home to support children’s growth and development.

Thank you again for your time, questions, and openness your involvement really does make these sessions so valuable.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at future workshops!

Such a lovely surprise for the children yesterday as the police came to visit our playgroup 🚓✨ The children were so excited to see the police car, ask lots of questions, and they even got to sit inside it! It was a fun and friendly visit that helped them learn that the police are there to help and keep everyone safe. Lots of smiles, laughter, and happy memories made 💙👮‍♂️ Thank you Limavady Police 👮‍♀️
