Testimonial Entries

“Being a mum to young children can feel lonely and scary, most days I wonder if I'm doing enough or doing it right, but at Apron on a Monday we are all just there as we are - no front, no pretence.”

- Katie Robertson

“A safe space for the children to make, play and be. Donation only so no pressure financially making it really accessible for everyone. Warm and relaxed- with coffee - my favourite sort of group.”

- Vicki

“Great, family friendly environment and lots of different activities to stimulate young minds. A great initiative!”
