Toddler / kids groups have been our little haven of sanity over the last 4 or so years.
That's where we received practical and emotional support, were advised as well as refered to other services, met other parents, had a laugh, shared tears, formed friendships and saw other kids grow.
But first of all, these groups provided us with warmth and safety.
I honestly don't know what i would have done without my local groups and their staff, helping us along during covid, severe illnesses, and other personal problems and general mayhem.
I'm deeply deeply shocked.
Words fail me.
