stay & play surestart
A new Surestart has opened in my area, and it's the first stay and play tomorrow.
I know this would be a fantastic opportunity for me to meet some other mums, I've been feeling a little down and lonely and the LO is a very difficult 4 month old so it would be good to get out. But I'm very shy and I've lost alot of confidence since giving birth, with the weight gain and feeling isolated since going on maternity leave.
I just wondered if anyone had been to a stay and play, and what usually happens and if you recommend it etc.
Thanks x

Its great - you have staff members there that talk to you/introduce you to other mums. . Soft play area for babies with stimulating toys. Its all about learning through play. Then you have snack time for toddlers and parents can have a cuppa. its a really relaxed atmosphere too.
Its great. I love my local surestart!

Surestart also do a wider range of days and activities, they`ll give you a timetable usually for the month ahead. Hope this helps! x
Im a single mum and im so lonely at times,lost touch with alot of friends though not sure why as i made the effort to suggest trips/nghts out..i would love to met other mums in my area who mst likely feel the same to some degree.
Hope you enjoy it its definately worth going to x
I'm definatley going to make myself go, how does it work with warming LO's bottle (can you tell I don't get out much!) Are there facilities or should I take a flask? LO is especially difficult because he won't finish his milk unless it's rewarmed half way through, nightmare child!
Just a tip (im not the most confident person in the world).... if you are worried about meeting the other moms at play and stay, do one of the courses like baby massage, or baby signing first. These are smaller groups that run over 6 week sessions, and are a great way to meet the moms before going into the larger groups at play n stay (and you will then have some mommies u know to talk to). Worked for me.
