Come along to our playgroup in a lovely, big church hall. There are toys for all ages and lots of space for the little ones to run/crawl/toddle around in. There's a hot cuppa for the adults and snacks for the children and we'll have a sing-a-long too. Playgroup is free to attend but when we have Lily there doing the singing then we require a contribution of £2 to help pay for this but if you can’t afford it / have lost your wallet / have no cash on you, please don’t let that put you off from coming, as you can always bring double the next week. There are parking spaces outside the church but it's permits only between 10&12 and you can only pay to park for an hour at a time. There are spaces round the corner on Atkins Road where you can park for longer. There are bus routes which stop nearby and it's a 10 ish minute walk from Balham station. Please note: To gain entry, please press the buzzer for 'Church' and one of us will let you in. Also, if your little ones are older and not sleeping, the church would prefer it if you left your buggy outside in the buggy park.

We aim to always be honest and non-judgmental. We believe that no question is a bad question.  We have seen it all when it comes to managing twins. We have lots of tricks up our sleeves so come and find out what we have to offer.   THE TALK The talk will cover tips on managing behaviour in toddlers! Tickets are £17.50 each or two for £30 and are strictly on a first come first served basis. Concessions are available - please get in contact to discuss.

Yo-ho-ho! It's that time of year again! So jingle your bells for the Wandsworth Twins Club Christmas Party, back by popular demand at the Tooting Leisure Centre.  It's time to dress your twins in their best Christmas jumpers and come and celebrate.  Dantastic will be providing the entertainment and there will, of course, be the bouncy castle to ensure they are all properly exhausted at the end of the day.   Whilst the weather outside is frightful, we'll be warm and dry and kicking off the festivities at 3pm.  Father Christmas will come and say hello to the children about 4.45pm before the party finishes at 5pm.   This year we are also running a raffle with some great prizes to win (you could even use them as Christmas presents!) inc Moet champagne and a goodie bag from Heyland & Whittle. Tickets will be £1 each or £5 for a strip, so bring some change with you! There will be water provided and some sweet treats to get the parents through the afternoon but please bring your own snacks for the children. Tickets always sell quickly so don't miss out.  We look forward to seeing you all there.
