Babies love Playgroup too!

Your baby is young for such a short time - make the most of this special time in their life and yours.

What is a Baby Playgroup?

A Baby Playgroup is a group of mums, dads, grandparents and caregivers who meet together each week with their babies for interaction, support and fun. Parents and caregivers work together to provide their babies with opportunities to learn through play.

Why go to a Playgroup?

Changes happen quickly as your baby grows and develops. Recent research indicates that your baby's first three years are really important for brain development and future learning, health and well being.
For optimum development a baby needs a stimulating environment to play and learn. Playgroup offers babies a wide variety of early learning experiences.
Playgroup gives parents and caregivers a chance to discuss ideas, problems and the joys and frustrations of parenting. Many life-long friendships begin at Playgroup.
