Dads Matter: We would like Dads to be a part of every single Sure Start Session but here’s just a few … just for you!
Saturday Dads / Male Carer Sessions
What is it?
Come and join us at our Dads / Male Carers Sessions on the last Saturday of every month at the Sure Start Children’s Centres. Bring your little one along for a chance to enjoy some quality bonding time with a bit of Wriggle & Giggle, messy play, crafts to make and take home and a healthy snack and best of all, it won’t cost a penny!
Who is it for?
Dads, Male-carers, Step-dads, Grandads, Uncles, Brothers, father figures … everyone’s welcome. The sessions are very flexible, it’s all about having fun with your little one, so if there’s anything that you’d like to do, then just let us know!
How do I attend?
Just ring your local Children’s Centre to find out where the next session is and to let us know you’re coming!
Dads Only Sessions & Trips
What is it?
While having a baby can be a happy and exciting event, it can also be very stressful for dads too. We recognise the importance of dads in their children’s lives and have a range of services that we offer to dads … there is always something you can get involved in and we would also welcome any ideas and suggestions you have for future sessions and events.
Who is it for?
The sessions are for Dads, granddads and male carers to come along (with your partners if you wish) and spend some quality time with their children. Research has shown that the more involved Dads are in their children’s lives the smarter, healthier and happier their kids will be.
How do I attend?
So … why not pop along to your local children’s centre or give us a call on 01207 590 930 to see what’s on!

offers, but it is just as important”
