Damian Etheraads, Head of Culture, Museums, Libraries and Archives at Herefordshire Council, said:

These sessions are about so much more than play. They give babies and toddlers a chance to explore, discover and grow in a stimulating environment, while offering parents and carers a friendly space to meet others and share experiences. Each session supports early learning through simple activities that build curiosity, confidence and communication, helping to lay the foundations for children’s development. They’re also a wonderful way for parents to connect with others and feel part of a welcoming community.
