PUSHCHAIR CLUB

Babies and toddlers aged from 0 to 5 years are welcome to join us, with their carers, on Thursday afternoons. Every week, the Pushchair Club takes over Totley Rise Methodist Church hall giving children, their parents and carers a place to come together, play and chat.

The activities take over the entire building. The main hall is given over to bikes and trikes for the older children whilst babies and toddlers have their own space - and the children can take part in the weekly craft activities such as play-dough and painting sessions.

Ann Oles, Pushchair Club leader, says: “The club is a place for mums, dads, grandparents and carers to come and chat whilst the children play, in a Christian atmosphere.”

Parents get the essential cup of tea and a biscuit, and sessions close with a group sing-song. One grandma says: “The Pushchair Club team put out toys for the children to play with, and they make sure we enjoy a cuppa. My little grandson looks forward to his chocolate fingers all week!”

The Pushchair Club runs every Thursday afternoon and, unlike many playgroups, it doesn’t close during the school holidays. If you want to find out more, just call in during a session.

There is a voluntary charge of 50p.

Exact times are not published here for child safety reasons.
