Weekly News - 18th May 2023

Welcome to our weekly newsletter! 

Coming up we have Smilers with 'Made with Music' and Leeds Conservatoire (ages 8-18), Football (ages 4-16), Sunbeams (ages 0-4), Makaton for babies and families, and Early Development (Busy Bees and Ducklings).

Unfortunately there is no cricket next week as the pitch isn't available.

We are excited to be hosting our first Meet The Artist evening at 21 Co. on Thursday 25th May.

We have an important Speech & Language Survey that we would really appreciate all families filling out by 28th May. 

There are also more Online Speech & Language sessions coming up that are open for bookings. 

As always we are available by telephone and email for advice, support and signposting – please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any time.
