House keeping:
Dudley Central Family is an accessible venue near to Buffery Park and playground. There are toilets and baby changing facilities available as well as kitchen access. The room we use is upstairs, but there is a lift.
You can drop in at any time, but do bear in mind that we need to leave the room by the session end time to ensure it is clean and tidy for the next users. If for some reason you are not able to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so someone else is able to access a space.

If you have any symptoms of covid-19, or are self-isolating, please do not attend. We have virtual groups and webchat available to support you - details on our website www.newbabynetwork.co.uk
