The Stepping-Stones and Koffee and Kids mums and toddler sessions at the Glebe Chapel in Newent are thriving as never before.

A total of 100 parents have signed their children into the sessions, with around half that number attending both the Stepping Stones session every Tuesday and the Koffee and Kids event on Fridays.

Spokesman Linda Murray added that more and more fathers were coming to the sessions, a development the group wishes to actively encourage.
