Seesaw launches Toy Library
From Tuesday 24 February 2004 Seesaw has partnered with Ashfield Play Forum and Sure Start to bring their
mobile toy library to the Ashwood Centre every two weeks. Parents/Carers will have the opportunity to
register for a year's membership and will then get access to some fantastic toys for under 5s,
where they can take one home and then swap 2 weeks later.
We are really excited about this and think it will be a huge success and welcomed by all.
If you haven't been to Seesaw before please feel free to drop in on either a Tuesday or Friday between 9.30am - 11.15am you will be made very welcome.
