May is National Share a Story Month - Lewisham Children & Family Centre

There’s nothing nicer than sharing a story with your little ones. A few moments a day to relax, visit new worlds and meet new creatures is a great way to expand your child’s vocabulary and help create a lifelong reader.

This year’s theme is Myth, Magic and Mayhem. There’s lots of fantastic books for children of all ages.

Here at Lewisham Children and Family Centres we’re passionate about childhood reading. In partnership with the Horniman Museum we’re offering some face to face interactive Busy Bees Storytelling Sessions at Ladywell and Evelyn Children and Family Centres where your child can learn more about the museums collections whilst listening to stories around the world.

“My child and I have really enjoyed coming to Little Explorers. It has helped my child to get used to see other babies and have interaction with them, which has been really important for him after the pandemic.”

“It's absolutely fab to be able to have access to all of the Domestic Abuse services in one place and to just click on a link to get to the website.”

“The Children Centre is our favourite place to come, we have been coming here since my child was 6 months old, he is now 4 years old and is still enjoying! Well done staff”

“I have just found the ‘taking care of ourselves’ section, which is massively important for us all, especially compassion fatigue.”

“The help and support that my family support worker gave me was above and beyond, she was always there to listen to me and make me feel like I was good enough and I was being heard.”

“The Outreach Team have such outgoing, friendly and fun personalities and made each Outdoor Learning session a great experience.”

“The Explorers session has helped my child a lot with his communication and his development. It’s really been impactful for him; we are really grateful to have this opportunity to attend the session and meet other parents as well.”

“The sessions help my daughter with speaking English, as well as helping her to listen and follow directions. I am very happy, my baby is very happy, and I feel relief when I come.”

“The Children Centre is very beneficial for my child, she has developed lots of skills e.g., sharing toys and naming colours. Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful.”
