Changes to our Stay & Plays

We are actively finding ways to improve our service for children and families in Lewisham, and we are currently
working to align the sessions across all our Family Hubs after we joined together with the Children & Family Centres in October. 
From Monday 6th January our weekly sessions, listed below, for children aged 0-5years will be called Stay & Play and sessions for babies aged 0-18, listed below, will now be called Baby Stay & Play.

There will be no need to book a space at these sessions, but we do advise arriving as near to the start time as
possible as spaces are limited due to room capacity and health and safety reasons.
The sessions will still look and feel familiar, and you will still experience the same friendly and familiar faces delivering them.

The reason we have made this decision is to enable as many parents and carers as possible to come along.
This is also due to feedback received through our consultation that parents and carers wanted more opportunity to access sessions on a drop-in basis without needing to pre-book.

Sessions that will now be called Stay & Play:
Explorers at Evelyn Family Hub, Bellingham Family Hub & Ladywell Family Hub
We’re not just playing at Downham Family Hub
Adventure Time at TNG

Sessions that will now be called Baby Stay & Play:
Little Explorers at Evelyn Family Hub, Bellingham Family Hub & Ladywell Family Hub
Babies & Crawlers at Eliot Bank Family Hub
Bumps & Babies Soft Play at Downham Family Hub
