Have you checked with your local Children's Centre - they might have a session you could go to?

Also check your local Sports Centre, ours does Pre-school gym a couple of mornings a week. They have out a ball pit, soft-play blocks, and some gym equipment like low balance beams, trampolines and vault horse all aimed at the under 5's.

I go to the Sevenoaks one on a Monday morning which is only about 20mins down the A21 from you

I was looking at this on the website.Might give that a try. Got stuck with mid day pick up for a new school starter for 5 weeks so may try after half term

PM me if you are going to go and I will meet you there

I also go to Polhil Garden Centre sometimes too.
The children love looking at the pets and feeding the Koi fish.
There is a lovely coffee shop and an outside play area too.

We go there too!. The children have had a couple of nice afternoons there during the summers hols. OK I PM you when I'm going. Thanks for the ideas

Bradbourne lakes in Sevenoaks is also another nice one when the weather is nice.
They have two areas; One has about 4 lakes in and loads of different types of ducks and geese and the other has 2 lakes in and a little stream.
The stream is only a couple of inches high and the older children love pond dipping there in the summer.
