Y ou ask ed for a g rou p to su pport sing le parents as there is nothing in
T av istoc k for them. W e hav e started a g rou p and it is v ery su c c essfu l.
You said that you would prefer to enter through the main building (Bere
A lston) sinc e the hall door is tempting to little people – so we c hanged the
entranc e.
Y ou notic ed that y ou r c hild enjoy ed mak ing dens ou t of fu rnitu re at home so
we made dens at the session..
Y ou said… … … .we c hang ed ( c ontinu ed) !
L ola (aged 4 ) said she preferred singing at the end of the session – so we
c hanged it bac k !
Y ou said that y ou did not realise that y ou c ou ld look in the folders – so we
made a poster reminding y ou that y ou c an.
You said that you would lik e an ‘introduc tion’ to eac h session (to ex plain what
the foc us is of the day) so now we welc ome the group with an ex planation.
