These comments are from parents who have previously attended the group:
“Brilliant fun for Harry. He really enjoyed coming and really informative for me. It has made us focus on getting dressed and undressed at home and given us lots of ideas to practice. It helped to find out what was expected of children going to playschool.”

Hutton Recreation Ground now safer thanks to Hutton Mum.
Mum's The Word! would like to thank local mum Hayley for tackling the issue regarding the outward opening gates at Hutton Recreation Ground, which enabled our children to let themselves out onto Rayleigh Road (the busy A129). Thanks to Hayley's perseverence the council have fitted a pen with an additional gate to the roadside entrances, making it much harder for children to escape. The actions of one person have made the park safer for all of our children. Well Done !
