Activities and groups
There are a range of free regular activities delivered by Sheffield Family Centres. What's on varies according to the needs of the local community but typically you can come to:
- breastfeeding groups and drop ins - come along for support, information and advice around all aspects of breastfeeding. Also a great place to meet other new parents and their babies
- baby groups - a fun and relaxing environment where you can explore and learn together with your baby
- toddler groups - a fun and exciting environment for children and their families to learn explore and develop new skills together
These activities are a great way to meet other parents and families and enjoy spending time with your child.
As well as our regular activities we also offer a range of workshops or advice sessions which have a specific focus on supporting different aspects of family life and child development.
We want to understand how the covid pandemic has affected supply and demand for childcare. Tell us your experiences of childcare during the pandemic and we will use your feedback to work with providers and schools when planning childcare in Sheffield.
We want all parents of children up to the age of 16 to tell us their views. The survey takes 10 minutes to complete.
