Crossacres Family Hub runs a varied weekly programme of groups and activities for babies, toddlers and families across Wythenshawe. Sessions take place throughout the week and cover everything from play and movement to peer support and specialist services, with something on offer for families at every stage.

Play-based sessions include Stay and Play, Mini Movers and Baby Yoga for babies aged six weeks to nine months — all designed to support early development and give families a relaxed space to meet others. There is also an Eco After School Stay and Play for older children, as well as a dedicated Butterflies SEND Stay and Play group for children with additional needs.

Support-focused sessions include a Mum's Matter group (booking required), a Young Parent Midwife drop-in with the option of a one-to-one bump-to-baby chat, a Local Offer Drop-in for families seeking SEND information, a Digital Drop-in and a Next Gen Moments group for young people. An outreach worker is also available to chat with on a drop-in or appointment basis.

Timetables are updated regularly, so check the Wythenshawe Children's Centres and Crossacres Family Hub Facebook page for the latest session times and dates. A youth timetable is also available for families with older children — ask at reception for a copy.
