Regular Groups

The Mellor Toddler group meet on a Thursday morning in the Mellor Centre at 10am until 11.30am. All Mums, Dads, Child Minders, Grannies etc with children and babies are very welcome. Most of the children that attend are three years and under, therefore there are toys more suitable for that age range, but we are more than pleased to see any pre-school children. The charge is £2.00 per adult and one child or £3.00 per adult and two or more children, this includes a healthy snack and drink for the children, and a hot drink and biscuit for the adults. We are a very friendly group and look forward to meeting new faces, just turn up.
