Dads

Welcome to Ridgeway Park Dad's Club

Who Let the Dad’s In!

Ridgeway Park Children Centre aims to be a place in which everyone is free to join in and become a part of the centre. To achieve this we have set up a Dad’s Club running every Saturday morning between 10.00am – 12.00am, starting from Saturday 9 February 2008.

This programme is partially funded by Parent, Early Years and Learning (PEAL) which is supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families as part of the Early Learning Partnerships.

We feel it is important to provide a Dad’s group where all male carers and their children can visit a fun and welcoming environment that provides a mix of group and one-to-one support. 

Along with café facilities, there is a range of activities such as table football, table tennis, Scalextrix and a choice of toys for the younger children.

"Excellent opportunity for the children to learn about fire service whilst playing. I have an 11 month old son but still felt included as some of the fire staff approached us and gave us a book!!"

 "Very good way to bring children together to know and learn about fire and to encourage people to have their house checked about fire safety devices. A very good day."

 "The Centre is clean, tidy and safe with a good variety of activities to keep the young ones occupied. There is food and drink in the internal cafeteria. The staff are all friendly and helpful, this really is a great place for dads and children alike."

 "A real treat for the children, as well as the parents. Next time we will try and get a tank!! A lovely surprise for the kids, it was great fun and really nice day."
