Hippo Babies
|
|
is the sister of
Hippo Club, and was
formed to provide a quieter alternative for carers of babies
under a year old.
What?
A much smaller, relaxed group which meets in the church lounge on
Tuesday mornings in term time from 10.00 – 11.30 am. It is
run by a small team of volunteers from the church.
What happens?
The morning is very unstructured, though we generally do group
introductions shortly after starting. There’s plenty of tea
(and
alternatives), a safe play space for the babies, with appropriate toys,
and most importantly, other people with whom to share the joys and
questions arising from the care of young babies! From time to
time we arrange specific activities (eg a talk on weaning, or sleep, or
a demonstration from one of the local music groups, or baby massage
– whatever the group requests)
What does it cost?
The current charge is £1 per session, which includes
refreshments.
What about membership?
There is none for this group! Anyone with a baby under one
year
old is welcome to drop in. A baby
“graduates” on his
or her first birthday, as we feel that at that point Hippo Club may
offer a more stimulating environment. Children over 1 year
old
are not allowed at Hippo Babies.
How can I find out more?
Please phone our special Hippo number 0844 5868919 or email Hippo@staugustine.org.uk
