Family trips
During the school holidays and sometimes on weekends we run family trips which are either low cost or free to help give mums ideas about what we can all do with the kids. Recent family trips include:
- Science Museum
- Hyde Park and the Diana Memorial Fountain

- Picnic at Alexander Palace
- Half term trip to the cinema
- Freightliners Farm and Park

For any trips where clients bring their children, they must make sure they always supervise them. If for any reason bad weather impacts on our timetable we will always let you know as soon as anything changes. All trips are women only with children under 18.
