I keep meaning too. We want to go to sign language classes so will do for those. We were going to go for baby massage classes but HV said she will come to us. I was happier with that as I can fit it in better.

Basically they're free children and parent centres offering a range of activities and courses. I had my ante-natal classes at my local one.
