Little Pebbles Parent Support Group
Dear Parent/Carer
We’re delighted to introduce the Little Pebbles Parent Support Group, a new, friendly space from the Early Years Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Team. This is for parents and carers of young children with additional or emerging needs.
The group offers a relaxed, informal environment to meet other families, share experiences and build a supportive network, while children play. Parents and carers are also welcome to attend on their own if their child is in a setting or school.
You’ll have the chance to chat with members of the Early Years ALN Team, ask questions about your child’s early education, and access support in a welcoming setting—over a cuppa.
No diagnosis or referral needed – just drop in.
