Young parents are invited to fun, free sessions at Radstock Children’s Centre, run by Bath & North East Somerset Council.
Parents and parents-to-be who are aged 21 and under are welcome to attend the weekly sessions where practical advice, information and support is available. During the sessions you can also discover how babies and children develop and learn through play.
The group meets at Radstock Children’s Centre every Wednesday between 1.30pm and 3pm, and parents are welcome to drop in anytime to benefit from a wide range of services at the centre.
The first sessions of 2013 have already proved popular with parents coming from Midsomer Norton, Peasedown, Paulton, Radstock and surrounding areas, but there are still spaces in the group.

There is also an antenatal programme for young parents which meets between 11.30am and 2pm on Wednesdays at the Children’s Centre.
Radstock Children’s Centre, which is part of Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Somer Valley Children’s Centre cluster, is open Monday to Thursday, 8.30am to 4.30pm and Friday, 8.30am to 4pm.
Somer Valley Children’s Centres offer a range of groups and services including Job Centre Plus, Citizens Advice Bureau drop-in sessions, baby clinics, breastfeeding support group and messy play sessions.

Radstock is one of 11 children’s centres across Bath and North East Somerset. There are also centres at Bath, Chew Valley, Keynsham, Midsomer Norton, Paulton and Peasedown St John.

As Leader of the Council it is important to me that we help parents across the authority area who need extra support. This group also offers advice on childcare, healthcare, training, getting back into work, housing benefits and much more.
There are regular visitors to the group including midwives, health visitors, Connexions and Curo Housing staff as well as Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Family Information Service. Working effectively with partners is a key aim for the Liberal Democrat administration that I lead in B&NES.
