"I'm thrilled to be part of the 5th annual What's On 4 Junior awards. Activities for babies and young children are such an important part of the early education and development of children across the UK. Baby and toddler groups are particularly important to new parents helping them to meet other parents and build a local support network. New parents can feel very isolated and having a chat with other Mums and Dads can put things in perspective and meeting new friends is always a positive step.

Joining these groups can build your child’s confidence. And when they go to school joining a group then can be less daunting and more enjoyable for them. 

It's wonderful how these awards reward the dedicated people that give parents and their children so many amazing ways to get active and learn every day of the week." Jo Tantum leading baby expert and author of Baby Secrets supports our awards!
