Though it’s been a very difficult year, we’re sure you’ll agree that not everything that’s come out of it has been bad. And some things have been really exciting, like lots of new babies being born and joining Sunshine and Smiles. Without our regular 0-3's group, we started up a 0-3's WhatsApp group to connect both new and existing families, and it has been a lovely chance to share photos, ask questions and support each other through the harder days.
Following on from this, we have decided to set up another group for slightly older children, aimed particularly at helping families navigate the transition from nursery/preschool to school. This will be aimed at those with preschool children up to Year 1 (ages 2-6 years).
If you would like to be added to either of these WhatsApp groups, please send us a Facebook message or email hello@sunshineandsmiles.org.uk with your phone number.
