Playgroup

What is a playgroup?

Playgroups are:

  • groups of parents, carers and their young children who meet regularly
  • lots of fun for children from birth to school age as they learn through play and interaction with other children and adults
  • for parents and carers to share ideas and information in a supportive environment
  • held in community centres, church halls, kindergartens, scout halls, Maternal and Child Health Centres or wherever it is convenient for their members
  • low cost and not for profit
  • for all local families who wish to join

Why are playgroups so important?

Playgroups are an ideal place for children to learn and develop through play. They:

  • give routine to a child's week providing regular time away from home
  • help children develop social skills in a group situation with a parent or carer by their side for support
  • are for families with a baby, toddler and preschooler to attend together
  • provide a large range of toys often not available at home
  • give parents and carers the opportunity to spend valuable time with their child
