Meet up for a local Buggy Walk on Wednesdays
PILTON BUGGY WALK: Meet outside Royston Community Centre for circular walk 10am every Wednesday until the 30th November.
We have changed the meet up point for Pilton to the community centre at Wardieburn as an experiment as it may be more appealing and we will do a circuit from there, through the streets around taking in a few green spaces and circling back to the community centre for a cuppa, chat and baby changing and so on. Hope to see you there!
You can just turn up or sign up at:

Your walk leader will be Hannah.
It would be great if you could get us a few more new Parents to come along!

New soft play sessions for children with additional special needs
New weekly soft play sessions for children with additional special needs
Edinburgh Leisure believes that play is for everyone and that some children and families may need more support than others to get active and stay active … so they are introducing a specific soft play session for children with additional support needs.
The sessions will take place every Wednesday from 9am-10am at Clambers at the Royal Commonwealth Pool.
These sessions have been specifically designed to provide an inclusive service and will be appropriate for families of children with additional support needs including autism, cerebral palsy, sight and hearing impairments, global developmental delay, and genetic disorders.
Clambers offers opportunities for all children to have an amazing adventure with carefully designed baby, toddler and junior zones. There’s a comfortable café with uninterrupted views serving quality coffee with tasty and healthy treats for both parents and children.
Sessions cost £1.10 for children aged 0-11 months, £4.20 for children aged 12 months – 3 years, £5.20 for children aged 4 years and up. Siblings without additional support needs are very welcome to attend the sessions too.
