Penrhys Flying Start is officially opening on July 18 and has organised a beach party for local children and their parents to mark the occasion.
The free event runs from 11am to 1.30pm at the centre and will include rock pools, water play, skittles, sand castles, windmills and lots, lots more.
There will also be a picnic provided for those who attend, offering a great day out and the chance for parents from across the area to find out more about what is on offer at the centre.
Penrhys is the latest Flying Start centre to open, offering valuable services for families with young children.
While the modern nursery provision is only open at present for those who live in the Flying Start catchment area, the centre offers a range of stimulating, fun and exciting activities to make sure that the children of Penrhys get the best possible start in life.
Some of the activities on offer include:
- A toy library that allows you to borrow, for free, play equipment and toys for your child.
- Parenting support courses
- Help and advice on caring for children
- Parent and toddler drop in sessions
- Sure Start Messy Parties with sand, paint and water!!
- Language and Play sessions that bring reading, writing and numbers to life through fun, songs, rhymes, arts and crafts
If you want your child to have access to the best services that money can buy they will be pleased to welcome you to the new centre.
As a community resource, the centre is keen to welcome new members and the more activities people get involved in and sign up for, the more they will offer.
Cllr Eudine Hanagan, Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning, said: “We are so pleased to mark the opening of this valuable family centre with a fun, free event that everyone can get involved in.
“It is important for parents to remember that Penrhys Flying Start offers a range of fun sessions, facilities and services that will give their child the best start to life possible”.
