Hi Nadnad, i'm from just outside Dungannon, there is a toddler group at castlecaulfield on a tuesday morning, i think there is surestart somewhere as well in Dungannon but i don't know where it is but could find out for you.

nadnad

nadnad, My wife goes to a really good one in Lurgan. In the Jethro Centre.. On a Friday Morning... She NEVER misses it.... Has made loads of new friend through it. May be a bit far though... mind you I do know she said she has met people there who live in Armagh so it must be good if they travel from Armagh to Lurgan

nadnad

no lurgans not that far only 20 minutes from where i am. do you know what time its at?

I think about 10:00am and runs on till 12ish. They cater for all ages.... Lovely big new centre (only opened in the last few years) has a lovely cafe in it too, lifts etc..., Very young babys have a seperate room from the "Bigger" toddlers. they do sining nursery rhymes and all sorts, loads of toys... and you get a cup of tea and a scone too... I think the Centre is owned by the Church of Ireland but it is as very mixed group, I think they even have a day especially for the eastern European community though many go on a friday too..
Address is
The Jethro Centre, Flush Place, Lurgan, Co. Armagh, BT66 7DT
Think Telephone number is 3832 5673 if you want to give them a call

I know we did a baby massage class there too with our first child (run seperately from the baby group... keep an eye on the notice board..

nadnad

thanks very much Colin

I think the Mother/Toddler group that Colin_Kee is referring to is called
Jo Jingles. I have 2 children who go to it and it’s absolutely brilliant for them. My 2 Boys are now 2 & 3 and they take children from 6 mths up. Ollie Quinn runs the classes and they take place in Dungannon also. Below I have included a link which will give you more info in relation to them.

I would highly recommend them
