Pregnancy & Under 5s

At The Springfield Project we host a range of activities and services for you and your child, including stay and play groups, practical parenting courses, advice and support services, as well as our two Nurseries. If you’re local to Sparkhill and have a young family, or need some practical support, we are here for you.

Pregnancy & Under 5s The Springfield Project

We have a number of activities for parents and children together including Seedlings Stay and Play, and our Breastfeeding Support. If you are pregnant or already have a family, ask us about the Family Hub Parenting Programmes to guide you through every aspect of parenthood from pregnancy to teens. These courses will help you prepare yourself for pregnancy, birth and becoming a parent.

We also run a selection of specialist sessions by invitation or referral, including support for children with additional needs, speech and language support, school readiness and other practical support for parents and children alike. If you would like to know more, or have a particular concern, talk to a member of staff at The Children’s Centre and we will be happy to advise you.

🌟 Here are some highlights from our last Summer St 🌟 Here are some highlights from our last Summer Stay & Play session! 🌟 Startwell 
 
We celebrated Raksha Bandhan by making pasta bracelets, supporting Sammy Skills and Suzy Startwell. 💕

We also explored oral health with Smiley Shen, including toothbrushing, reducing sugary foods and drinks, and visiting the dentist regularly. 🦷

Families enjoyed cheese toasties and a fun trip to the local park, with walking, parachute games, bubbles, and balls, promoting Active Azra and 180 Katie. 🌳🏃‍♀️
A fun week of learning, playing and staying active! 😊

We hope you all had a great summer 🌞

🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield 🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield Project last week 🌞 Startwell 

Last week, National Allotments Week, the European Athletics Championships, and National Plum Day gave families lots of opportunities to learn through play.

Children enjoyed growing cress, exploring a harvesting sensory box, completing obstacle courses, and taking part in plum tasting and printing activities. Parents were also introduced to 180 Katie, Fay 5 a Day, 2 Snacks Max, and Sammy Skills to support healthy eating and active play at home.
