FAMILIES can now socialise with other parents while bonding with their children.

Baby and parent classes will be available on a weekly basis, for residents and non-residents, at Southampton City Centre development Bow Square.

Situated on the corner of Bernard Street and Queensway, the rise in families living there prompted the development to host the family-bonding classes.

Cody Topley, Bow Square’s Resident Services Specialist, said: "Many people with children feel that apartment living is something that may not work for them, but we are here to confirm that families are very much a vital part of our community.

"In fact, baby-fever has recently hit Bow Square, and we would love to give our residents the opportunity to socialise with other parents while enjoying that all-important bonding time with their children."

Bow Square is a 279-apartment development that launched its properties last year.
