Event Description
Welcome to Stay & Play - where families create memories and little ones explore the world through play!
Our fun-filled sessions are perfect for babies, toddlers and preschoolers (from birth to 5 years), offering a safe, friendly space for curious minds to discover, learn and grow. Whether your child is crawling, toddling or full of energy there’s something for everyone. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures, water play and messy play, every session is packed with hands-on fun. It’s the perfect way to bond, make new friends and watch your child’s imagination soar! Come along and play, we can't wait to welcome you!
Our Children's Centre services are restricted to those living in the London Borough of Sutton only. Our sessions are very popular and we want to prioritise those living in the borough. If you are unsure what your local area offers please do not hesitate to contact us and we will signpost you to your nearest service.
