“ we are delighted that parent and child groups providing support to young families are allowed to continue.”

Sorry if this has been posted before. Just received this from a toddler group that DD attends. Slightly confused as other paid groups we attend are cancelled. Is this definitely the case?

I’m confused about this too. I have been told by 2 of my groups they will definitely not be continuing, and the other 2 are still unsure... I am keen for at least 1 to be on for my own sanity. I think the venue also makes a difference as one of mine is within a leisure centre so has to automatically shut.

I read they are definitely allowed to continue, but I think it has to be limited to 15 adults.

This is the out of school guidance. There is exceptions for support groups. I suppose they could argue, they are that but it seems pushing it to me. In the main out of school activity is meant to be closed with a few exceptions around disabled children.
So many people looking to be the exception this time. It’s really not going to have the impact it needs.
