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.

During our Startwell Stay & Play session for children aged 2 and under, we hosted a fussy eating workshop focused on #Micky Me Size portion guidance, providing families with one-to-one support where needed. 

Healthy Start vitamins and practical fact sheets for families to take home. The children explored the variety of activities from tracing their hands,  role-playing with foods and dinosaurs.
