I’ve created this list of baby and toddler classes and activities over time because I have a little one and have been taking her to a baby or toddler group on a daily basis since she was 2 months old.
This list includes classes in Caterham, Caterham on he Hill, Whyteleafe, Kenley, Warlingham, Woldingham, Sanderstead, Selsdon, South Croydon, Croydon, Addiscombe, West Wicham, Shirley, Purley, Waddon, Wallington, Banstead, Chipstead, Tadworth, Redhill and Reigate.
I love finding new classes, taking her to something different, and providing a variety for her. I found that gave her a lot of confidence, and she wasn’t so attached to my hip.
The below list is mainly for babies and toddlers up to the age of 3.
These stay-and-play groups and other engaging activities provide a sanctuary for parents too, fostering a sense of community and mutual understanding.
For those days when a change of scenery is in order, bookmark this resource as your guide to accessible escapes from the confines of home.
BUT – Before venturing out, be sure to check the relevant websites, as these groups may operate on term-time schedules or require pre-booking.
As a top tip – keep a convenient stash of £1 and £2 coins in your car or changing bag, for some tea-and-biscuits in some places.
Please note that the information provided here is for reference only, and details such as group times and prices may change at any time. So please look at the individual websites and facebook pages.
Your feedback is very important to me so if at any stage you come across any discrepancies or have information on new groups or timings, don’t hesitate to drop me a message. It’s important to clarify that I am not affiliated with any of these groups.
All I wanted to do was share my excitement of taking my baby to some amazing classes and activities, and hope you and your little one(s) find as much joy from it too.
