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.

😊 World Smile Day – Sharing Smiles and Kindness! 😊 😊 World Smile Day – Sharing Smiles and Kindness! 😊 Startwell 

Last week, we celebrated World Smile Day at our School Readiness Stay and Play session by talking about what makes us smile/Oral Health workshop, and how a simple smile or act of kindness can brighten someone’s day. 💛

With Suzy Startwell, we explored how children learn by copying the adults around them, modelling kindness, positive emotions and friendly smiles. We also linked in Smiley Shen to remind families about the importance of looking after their teeth, brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and registering with a dentist if they haven’t already done so. 🦷✨

Let’s keep our smiles happy, healthy and bright! 😁  What makes you smile?

📚 Learning About Black History Month ☺️ 🖤💛❤️💚 As 📚 Learning About Black History Month ☺️ 🖤💛❤️💚

As part of our Black History Month celebrations, the children enjoyed exploring colour, paint, and music through a creative sensory experience! 🎵🎨

There was lots of excitement as they splattered, stamped, brushed, and painted using a variety of tools, including paintbrushes, stamps, and even their hands! 🫟🖌️🙌

Activities like these encourage creativity, self-expression, and confidence while allowing children to explore different textures, movements, and sounds in a fun and engaging way. 🌟
