Dr Bell's Wee Feeders

A family and community centre in Leith supporting families with a child under 5, running groups, a crèche and counselling, with a focus on reducing stigma and reaching families who need it most. How their programme works: Dr Bell's releases its group programme once per school term, not continuously. Edinburgh school terms run roughly: autumn term from mid-August to the Christmas break (with a week's holiday in October), spring term from early January to Easter, and summer term from late April to late June. Then comes the long summer holiday (late June to mid-August), when regular groups pause and one-off Stay & Play sessions run instead. Each new term's programme appears on their Eventbrite page shortly before the term starts — so look for the autumn 2026 programme around mid-August.
