My family information service has details of all toddler groups in the area. what i did was try quite a few to see which ones we liked and felt more comfortable in, then stuck to them

thankyou for all the ideas, we do a lot of activities at home but he misses his nusery friends
we went to cheeky chimps yesterday and really he really enjoyed it. so will be doing that again. ducklin meeting up would be nice. did you have anywhere/anyplace in mind?
