Easter activities at Gobowen children’s centre

Families are invited to a special Easter celebration with Shropshire Council Sure Start Children’s Centres at Gobowen Primary School on Monday 25 March 2013.  The special Easter activities will run in the morning, and are designed for families with young children.

The morning’s activities will include an Easter Egg hunt, making Easter bonnets, and planting shoots to see grow over the coming weeks.  There will also be face painting and a variety of toys to play with.  For parents new to children’s centre services this is a good opportunity to experience what is on offer at a ‘Stay and Play’ session first-hand, while staff will be there to answer any questions and give extra information on both the services provided and any parenting queries.

Alex Klages, Shropshire Council’s senior children’s centre support worker, encouraging families to attend the event, said:

“It’ll be a great morning and a good way to spend time with your child and see what services are on offer to help you in the area.  It’s always helpful, particularly for first time parents, to meet others in your position, and there will be the chance to meet other parents in similar positions to yourself.  We hope to see you there.”

The morning’s activities will take place between 9.15am and 11.30am, and snacks for the children will be provided.  Regular ‘Stay and Play’ sessions are run every Monday, at the same time, at Gobowen Primary School in the demountable building next to Gobowen Allrounders Pre-school.
