Parents are welcome to join courses up to the second week (or third week if there is a taster). After that it is no longer appropriate to accept new parents on courses. However, we are happy to take referrals for parents for future courses. * Please note that where a course is able to offer funded childcare, a discussion with the group facilitator or a member of the family support team re: your childcare needs is helpful to find out what is best for your child. This may be a crche place (these will be limited) or with the childs current childcare provider (if they have one and places are available), or with a registered childminder. The group facilitator will be in touch to discuss childcare needs or confirm a crche place.
