Today was definitely a top five moment for 2026 so far.

I had the amazing chance to visit the wonderful team at Ince Community Centre to talk about launching the Unfiltered Parent Circle there… and honestly, it just felt right.

They were welcoming from the off and it is a genuinely sweet centre. It has that truly community focused feel.

We all know how much spaces matter. From the gut feeling you get the moment you walk in to the little gestures of kindness. This one has heart.

I also had a really positive conversation with Lyndsey from ABC Childcare about how we can best support families locally. Not just “run sessions”, but actually respond to what parents in Ince need, what’s missing and what would genuinely help.

That’s what this is about.
Building something with the community.

The Unfiltered Parent Circle starts on Monday at 10am… and I genuinely cannot wait - for more info, go check out our website:

Happy Valentines Day to all our lovely Tou-Canners.. but if your day isn't all red roses and breakfast in bed.... give yourself a hug and remember how wonderful you are 🩵💜

Valentines Day can be less than happy and loved up for some. If thats you.. remember it won't last. Hearts and flowers aren't everything.. value yourself, do whatever makes you feel OK or brings a little joy.

Tomorrow is another day.

A massive shout out to Amanda, one of our students, for today's emotions sensory adventure!! The messy spaghetti play was a huge hit. We had lots of wiggles, giggles and lots of curious little hands 👐
Exploring feelings in such a fun, hands on way helps our little ones start recognising emotions early on, giving their mental wellbeing a brilliant boost! 😊🙂 #

We had a lovely session this week for Valentines day. We decorated biscuits and coloured pictures.
It was fab to see some of the little ones that have recently joined us becoming much more confident and enjoying themselves. Have a look🥰🥰
