Safari
We had plenty of fun for this weeks safari themed #StayandPlay session @JollyJosh in #Rochdale. Our little adventurers and their families discovered a range of safari animals in the grasslands (hay) and had lots of creative fun making their own giraffe to take home. Please see our photographs.

Halloween & Bonfire Night celebrations
Well this weeks #stayandplay session @JollyJosh #Rochdale seemed to be a big hit with our little ones and tots as we explored all things Halloween. Our little ones experienced sensory play in dried lentils and had fun scooping them into the witches cauldrons, making potions and spells. We looked at Halloween books and read spooky stories before making sparkling rocket fireworks to zoom into the night sky for bonfire night. Our visiting professional this week was Alex, a #Heal

Traffic
We had lots of fun at our last #stayandplay session @ JollyJosh #Rochdale when our babies and tots played with lots of different types of traffic. Our little ones got creative, making traffic lights in the creative area with the help of their adults. We were lucky to have such nice weather which meant we could use our outdoor area to have lots of fun in the sun. Thank you to our visiting professional, Alex; a #HealthVisitor from the @PennineTeamHMR. Alex was on hand to give a

Look for the Zebra!
Today is #RareDiseaseDay 2019 and we 'showed our Zebra stripes' today to support @GeneticAllianceUK and @RareDiseaseUK and all those raising awareness of rare diseases. The idea being to encourage professionals to look for the zebra too as diagnosis may not always be the 'common horse.' As you can see we enjoyed a Zebra themed session @JollyJosh. We had a lovely, busy session with Alex, our trustee and #HealthVisitor alongside #traineenurses Paige and Lucy. In addition, we al

Thoughts on our 1st Anniversary
Celebrating One Year of @JollyJosh… The idea of ‘#JollyJosh ‘a year ago was ‘pure imagination’. A chain of events would lead me to realise that there was a gap in the system; the solution would become Joshua’s legacy. Jolly Josh is a lifeline for families who want to access the service. In the early years when you realise that things are not ‘normal’ and that your child is not meeting milestones it can be extremely difficult. It is incredibly hard to accept that your child ha
