West Berkshire Mencap are running a NEW BABY AND TODDLER GROUP on Tuesday Mornings, during term time, between 9.30am and 11.30am for 0-5 year olds.

This new group is run by Emily, one of our Children’s Services Team and at the Mencap Centre in Enborne Gate Newbury.

We are growing the group slowly to give everyone a chance to settle in and not feel overwhelmed.

West Berkshire Mencap has been running children’s services for over 20 years. Our aim is to operate a safe and happy environment for children aged 0-18 years with a learning disability (with or without a physical disability) to play, have fun and socially interact.

West Berkshire Mencap currently employs two full time and several part time staff to run the services. We offer Holiday fun days, Term time Outreach after school, plus our Outreach service at weekends and school holidays.

The Children’s Services Manager’s role within the organisation is to develop and provide services for children with a learning disability and their families. Please speak to a member of staff about any ideas or services that would benefit your family.

“Whenever Louise visits the Centre she is able to meet and interact with lots of other children, she learns and enjoys a huge range of experiences. Now Louise isn’t clingy, she has fun and a bit of time away from mum too!”
