Who we are

Elmswell Baby & Toddler Group is a friendly, community-run group for babies, toddlers and their parents, grandparents and carers in Elmswell and the surrounding villages.

We run weekly Monday morning sessions at Blackbourne Community Centre in Elmswell, providing a warm, safe and stimulating environment where little ones can play, explore and learn — while grown-ups enjoy a well-earned hot drink and some friendly company.

We believe that the early years are a special and sometimes challenging time, and that having a local community to lean on makes all the difference. Whether you are new to the area, a first-time parent or just looking for something fun for your toddler on a Monday morning, you are always welcome here.
