Playgroups


Most, but not all, playgroups catering for pre-schoolers are attached to churches being held in adjoining church halls.  This doesn't mean to say that you have to attend the church.  Playgroups usually ask for a small entry fee (£1-£1.50) and provide refreshments for adults and children.  Parents and carers must stay for the session and supervise their children.  Most only run during term-times.

Have we missed a playgroup that you attend?  Have we missed something or made a mistake?  Please click Let us know and give us details.
