First Steps is a community social enterprise that meets at Calvert Hall behind Rosebery Road methodist church, Rosebery Road, NR3 3AB. We put on stay and play groups for parents / carers and their 0-4 year olds. We welcome mums, dads, grandparents, childminders, and other carers. We are an inclusive , warm and welcoming group, offering developmentally appropriate play opportunities, messy play and healthy snacks. We finish with a songtime with props, puppets and sometimes bubbles or parachute play. We keep the cost as low as possible so all are groups are either £2 per family or FREE (Story Cafe and Childminder Support Group - SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS - are free). There are a few parking spaces adjacent to the church (please park at an angle to the church wall), and a on Rosebery Road, please be mindful of residents.

We believe that children learn through playing, chatting and exploring their environment and resources. We believe in instilling a sense of awe and wonder in the children. We have a trained Communication Champion in our setting who can advise on speech, language and communication concerns. We promote wellbeing for babies, toddlers and their carers. Our group's run by a former teacher, an outstanding childminder and a retired childminder, all with years of knowledge and experience in early childhood. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our warm and friendly group.
