Hi I am looking for a coffee morning/baby group to go to. I am a SAHM to a 6 month old and live in Lincoln.
A lot of stuff here seems to be based in Waddington, does anyone know of anything fun to do with the baby in Lincoln?

Mrsc79 - do you know how soon after Christmas these will be restarting? Thanks.

Hi. The Family hour group resumes on the 6th Jan. I think the NCT group starts up on the 8th Jan. I have a 10 month old, and he loves both of these groups, so cant wait for them to start up after Christmas!

Hi There
Just out of interest how old are the children at the family hour session in Eastgate? Is it for babies and new Mums or can toddlers go to?

mrsc79 · 07/01/2009 16:41

Hi all. I live just uphill in Lincoln, so m really central for most groups and meeting up. How about you?

The group at Eastgate is for children of 0 to 5. Id say generally there is a mixed age range of children go. Its perfect for toddlers as they provide craft activities, singing and a drink & buscuit. The Staff are really welcoming too.

I'm just down the side of the hill so same here really. Should we try to meet up? Really need to get a life if I'm going to stay at home with the baby.

I live in a village just outside Lincoln and have a 2 1/2 year old girl.

We did have quite an active meet up group going at one point but it's kind of fizzled out recently but there are regular meet ups from the Bounty website, most of whom have babies of about a year old.

mrsc79 · 08/01/2009 21:44

Hi. Thanks for leting us know about the bounty site. I have had a look, and like on here, everyone seems very friendly. It would be lovely to get a group of mummys together.

weenawoo, did you fancy going to the toddler group on tuesday at the eastgate church? I could meet you at the church. There is a bench just outside the door, where my son and i could wait for you? it starts at 10am.

Hi There
I live in a village just outside Lincoln too (Heighington) but the Eastgate thing sounds lovely. I do work ft from home but may try and bring my little boy to that one day

It is really nice, well worth a visit. When are you thinking of going? I'll certainly be going again if you wanted to meet up.

NicolaMumsnet · 15/01/2009 11:22

Hi Weenawoo
It won't be for a few weeks as I am busy with work and down in London for a bit, but I will certainly try and make the effort soon so will let you know

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. Have a 2 1/2 yr old and 6 mth old. And dont have a car! I'm desperate to find some kind of regular gym group (tumble tots kind of thing) for my toddler who loves jumping! Go to Playzone when my sister can come to watch the baby. But need a weekly activity for him. Anyone know of anything?

I don't know about a gym group but, there is a nice toddler group at the methodist church on bailgate. They have loads of ride alongs, and climbing stuff for older ones and smaller baby toys. Think there is something at the Lincolnshire poacher pub with soft play stuff but haven't been so don't know what it's like.

mrspnut · 19/02/2009 16:58

There isn't a tumble tots group in Lincoln unfortunately.

There is a Jo Jingles group though, at Waddington on a monday morning, North Hykeham on a thursday afternoon or Bailgate on a wednesday morning run by Sara (my daughter adored going but we can no longer fit it in).

juliemb66 · 24/02/2009 00:30

Thanks for you messages weenawoo and mrspnut I've actually since found out there's Lincoln gymnastic club which includes under 5's and a club called Socatots which is football based but develops skills and coordination. I'm going to try them both out. Thanks for you help.

I have a little boy 6 months old, We go to sure start centres in lincoln. we use the St. Giles and Ermine centre. They do lots of groups for the under 5's we go there most days. I know there is one next to St. Faiths infant school and there is one at the other side of Lincoln but don't know where it is.

LouH72 · 06/07/2009 22:36

Just to let you all know that there is a new group (The Creation Station) starting in Branston, Lincoln. It is arts and craft Exploration sessions. It starts in Sep and will run weekly on a Wed morning from 10.00 - 10.50. It is for 1 - 5 yr olds and all the children get to have creative messy fun with their mums, dads, grandparents or carers. Hopefully should be lots of fun!

Hi. I am due in December. Already have a 6 year old and recently moved to the Navenby area. Does anyone know of a local baby/bump group or fancy meeting up? I don't know anyone else due here!
