A simple starting point for under-five activities, toddler-friendly outings and winter days when you need somewhere to go. We link to the places that keep their own current timetables, so you can check details before you set off.
The sources below are maintained by the organisations running the sessions. They are a better place to check dates, booking and last-minute changes than a static list on this website.
Kings Langley sits in the Dacorum area. The Family Centre service publishes local timetables as well as parent-and-toddler groups, active rhyme time, play sessions and school-holiday family activities.
See the Dacorum timetableHertfordshire Libraries list Baby Rhyme Time and interactive Storytime sessions for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. Check the event finder for the nearest suitable session.

Visit Health for Under 5sThese are not ticketed events. They are low-pressure ways to turn a winter afternoon into something a little more manageable, whether you are meeting another parent or just need a change of scene.
A short song-and-rhyme session can be enough of an outing for a baby or toddler. Add a library visit afterwards, choose one book together and let that be the whole plan.
Look for a baby group, Peep session, active rhyme time or holiday family fun session. Taking another adult along can make a new room and routine feel easier for everyone.
On a dry day, take a bag and look for five things: a crunchy leaf, something red, a stick, a feather and a puddle reflection. It is a simple sensory game that suits short attention spans.
Keep a small basket with paper, chunky crayons, stickers, a few animals or cars and a favourite book. Bringing it out only on a stuck-inside day makes the activity feel new again.
