Our programme includes Stay & Play, sensory and messy play, active sessions, music, arts and crafts, baking, baby toddler activities and sessions for childminders. We also offer opportunities for families to access specialist support, including Speech and Language Therapy and early development advice.

We also run activities specifically for babies and younger children, including baby massage, baby yoga, tummy time and soft play, as well as our toy library. Hackney recognises the importance of early experiences in supporting children’s language, communication, physical, social and emotional development. 

Our timetable changes regularly, so please contact us or check the latest timetable below to find out what is happening this term.

All of our sessions are free and are designed to be relaxed and informal. You don’t need to be an expert parent — just come along, have a cuppa and let the children play!

Gainsborough currently advertises a range of early years and extended services including Stay & Play, baby activities, Speech and Language appointments, adult learning and health visiting.
