LIL'AMIGOS PARENT &
TODDLER

OPEN WEDNESDAYS
10.00AM - 12:00PM

 

Lil’ Amigos is a friendly and welcoming parent and toddler group at Gilfach Goch Community Association, designed to give little ones a safe space to play, learn and explore, while parents, carers and guardians can relax, socialise and connect with others. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, share experiences and enjoy quality time together in a supportive, community-focused environment.

Each session offers a mix of free play, toys and activities that help support early development, creativity and confidence, all in a fun and informal setting. Whether you’re a regular or thinking of coming along for the first time, you’ll always receive a warm welcome.

​

A SPACE FOR LITTLE LEARNERS TO GROW

Every session is designed to support early development through play, curiosity and interaction. Children can enjoy:

• Free play with toys and activities

• Creative messy play and hands-on exploration

• Social interaction with other children

• Early learning through fun and movement

• Singing, sharing and group activities

It’s a gentle introduction to learning, helping little ones build confidence, communication skills and independence in a relaxed environment.

 

A SPACE FOR PARENTS & CARERS TOO

Lil’ Amigos isn’t just for children—it’s for you as well. We understand that early parenthood can feel overwhelming at times, and having a welcoming place to go can make all the difference.

Here, you can:

• Meet other parents and carers

• Share experiences and advice

• Build friendships and support networks

• Enjoy a relaxed, judgment-free environment

• Take time to connect with your child in a positive setting

 

Sometimes it’s the small things—a conversation, a smile, a shared story—that make the biggest difference.

 

POSITIVE OUTCOMES & BENEFITS

Regular attendance at Lil’ Amigos can have a real and lasting impact for both children and adults:
