Our support workers Jade and Zoe popped along to Langlee Early Years Centre Bumps and Babies to talk to parents about Oral health and Dental registration. They had a very busy time.

Our Berwickshire 'Mini-Swap' was a great success at Langlee Early Years Centre 'Bumps and Babies' this week!! Thanks to everyone who came along to make this a fab social morning! And thanks to Lianne from Berwickshire Swap for providing such a huge range of clothes for families to make use of- what a great way to give these clothes a second home and to save lots of money too!
