Drop in or Sign up ?!?
My initial research has revealed a vast number (most?) groups in Reigate are not drop-ins, and you have to sign up for a term which might become costly! When junior was little I found this hugely problematic as his napping was unpredictable, as were the various colds he happened to catch so we ended up paying for quite a few classes (Baby signing, swimming etc) which we couldn't attend. I also had issues with singing/story groups where the mums sang/listened while the babies/toddlers wandered around aimlessly or stared into space (and I did wonder how much junior was getting out of it!) Now that he does tend to nap regularly I am wondering how on earth I will know what he will like!! I'm hoping some groups will offer a free trial session but I will certainly be on the hunt for drop in groups - so please let me know if you can recommend any!

Hi- Just came across your blog from Twitter and wanted to say welcome to Reigate! I moved here 8 months ago from Streatham and like you fell in love with the park, you have made a good move. If you would like to meet up, ill be happy to give you the low down on some free groups :) maybe at the park so our boys can run around in the sand?

Sarah - lovely to meet you at Reigate Hub earlier. Check out the Steppingstones Childrens Cetnre in Earlswood - can not recommend it highly enough. All sessions are drop in and generally free.

Shireen - I also moved locally from Streatham. Quite different, isn't it!
