Noodeyn Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi there im interested too i have a 7 week old and im gonna start taking him to kiddieclub. I know you said l8r on in the week was better but its on every tuesday at half ten and is run from the basement of the church in prince alfred street and no its not a religious group the mums just hire the hall. I took my first there and she really liked it. Theres also something run from the sandveien neighbourhood centre i dont know the exact details but my sister goes so i could find out a bit more for you if that area suits better. Theres also the staneyhill mother and toddler group run by christine tonge ex health visitor but still contactable through the lk health centre. Thats my neighbourhood so im gonna find out more myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattie_soup Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Okay thats great thank you very much. The church one is near me so I was thinking about going there, I was told by someone its on tues and thurs? My daughter is nearly 6 months old and she loves other barins so it would be great. I go to the one in Whiteness and Weisdale hall most Monday mornings as my mum lives out there. But wasn't organised enough today!! That one is great lots of toys and loads of babies! Its 10am-12noon every monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khitajrah Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would recommend anything by the Bruce Family centre. They go out of their way to make you and your children feel welcome, and that makes a big difference when you start attending a new group. Good luck! Bruce Family Centre Services The Bruce Family Centre is a multi-agency team bringing together the Family Centre Manager, the Pre-School Home Visiting Service, Community Alarm Scheme Teacher, a Family Support Worker and four Playworkers. Also based in the Family Centre are the Shetland Childcare Partnership Co-ordinator and the Childcare Development Officer. This team aims to offer family support services throughout Shetland on an outreach basis by offering parent support groups individual input to more vulnerable families, play opportunities via the Play Van and groupwork sessions with young people. The Family Centre also manages the Islesburgh Pre-school group and the Out-of-school groups in Mossbank, Dunrossness and Lerwick. For more details please contact: Family Centre Manager, Bruce Family Centre, Lovers Loan, Lerwick, ZE1 0BA Tel: 01595 745405 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodeyn Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Its been nearly 5 years since i was there last but i used to go on a tuesday cant remember it being open on a thursday but its highly possible. I hear theres plenty spaces so its ok to just turn up. Mind tho it will be closing for the school holidays shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollian Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 On the board in the Health centre, there are usually adverts of the different groups and your helath visitor can usually put you in touch with some as well.These are the ones I know about:Nippers, on a Thur at the Ebeneezer Hall, Navy Lane.Early birds, Mon & Thur, St Magnus Church hall.Sandveien Neighbour hood centre.Staneyhill Hall.Gulberwick Hall on a Fri.

shetlandlady Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hi, I've started going to the one in the Sandvein Neighbourhood Centre even though I live in Cunningsburgh. My girl is 9 months old now and she just loves it as there are atleast 10 other babies to play with and there were none at the group in Cunningsburgh. Its on Friday mornings from 9.30-11.30 and everyone has been really friendly and made me feel very welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
