Parent and Toddler Groups 

Parent and toddler groups tend to cater mostly for parents with under-threes, but children under five can usually attend. The groups may be based in church halls, community venues or centres where children are cared for such as nurseries and playgroups. Toys and activities are provided for the children while the adults have a chance to socialise.

Parent and toddler groups are not registered with Ofsted as the parent or carer must stay with the child at all times. Parent and toddler groups are often voluntary and depend on volunteers to run them. However, there may be qualified staff on hand if the group is run in a childcare setting such as a nursery.

Some groups are free, whilst others ask for a contribution towards refreshments, which may take the form of a weekly charge or a subscription.

There are weekly events for babies and toddlers at all Kensington and Chelsea libraries. Tickets are free and must be booked in advance.
