Tou-Can: Here for Parents, Every Step of the Way 🧡

Parenting is incredible — and sometimes really tough. Our Tou-Can groups in Ince and Scholes give you a friendly space to:

✨ Meet other parents
✨ Chat and relax
✨ Access 1:1 support if you need it
✨ Enjoy play that helps your little one grow

If home life feels challenging, can also offer confidential mediation to help make co-parenting calmer and more positive. 💛

🗨️ Parents say:

“Coming here has really helped.”
“Makes me go out.”
“Love that it’s free — no stress about coming.”

Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a regular — you’re always welcome.
Message us to find out more. 🫶
