A Parent and Toddler Group is an informal group within the local community, which provides an opportunity for young children and their parents/carers to meet.
Parent and Toddler groups can be a great way of meeting other people with children the same age as yours in your area.
While these were traditionally aimed at mothers/fathers, they are now aimed at childminders, grandparents and other guardians.
Some are held in local community centres or church halls etc.
