Group sessions for parent and children
Our group sessions for children aged 0–4 and their parents offer a fun, engaging environment to bond and grow together. Through storytelling, cooking, dancing, and other interactive physical activities, families can nurture communication, encourage creativity, and strengthen relationships.
Storytelling
Snuggle in for stories, songs, giggles and play! Every Thursday at Valence Library, Becontree Ave, Dagenham RM8 3HT, 10:00am-11:30am.
Our free storytelling sessions are perfect for families with little ones aged 0-4. Each week we’ll dive into a world of tales using interactive props, catchy songs, and sensory play. Your little ones will be able to explore fun ways to build early literacy skills and foster a love of books from the very beginning. Help bring stories to life and pick up easy tips and tricks for sharing stories at home!
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s become Storytime Adventurers and discover new stories together! We can’t wait to see you there!
