GroW offers welcoming and inclusive group activities for families with babies and children under 5
GroW is a charitable family community group, supported by Wantage Town Council, Grove Parish Council and other grants and donations.
Our Stay and Play and Baby groups offer a warm welcome with messy play, craft activities, stories and singing, as well as the chance for parents and carers to relax, meet others and access information.
We also offer courses and programmes, including the Family Links parenting programme, family first aid courses and baby massage courses
