Parish Services

Happy Hub

The Happy Hub is Cholsey’s Children’s Centre.

The Hub provides a place to play for small children (up to 5 years) and somewhere for carers to chat with one another and receive support from our staff. Activities include art/craft, singing and gardening.

We are open Monday to Wednesday and Friday 9.15-11.30 am in The Pavilion, Thursday 9.45 – 11.15 am at The Great Hall, Cholsey Meadows  and Saturday 10 – 11.30am in The Pavilion. We also offer a baby group from 11am – 1pm on a Friday.

We have a suggested donation of £2 per family, but if you cannot afford that please do not let this stop you from coming.

Please note this is not a childcare facility and you are responsible for your child at all times.
