Balcombe

BALCOMBE BABIES: Within the village we have an excellent local group who provide carers and babies with the opportunity to enjoy rhyme time activities whilst benefitting from the company of other parents. Balcombe Babies is a friendly rhyme time baby group that meets every Tuesday afternoon during term-time, 2.00 pm '“ 3.30pm at Bramble Hall. The Group incorporates both traditional and modern nursery rhymes, which include actions and baby signing to encourage learning, story-telling and baby sensory activities. As mentioned there is also the social and supportive element for parents and carers. There are no age restrictions so older children and siblings are always welcome, no need to book, £1.50 per family, come and have fun! Group equipment is also available to hire for children's parties (parachute, balls, big bricks). In addition to this they have a few cake tin moulds: Thomas the Tank Engine / giant flower / heart shape, as well as a gazebo available to hire! Balcombe Babies is right on your doorstep and the cost is a fraction of what is charged at commercial organisations that do similar activities. Please support.
