About the Playgroup
How many children attend Playgroup?
It varies each week, and throughout the morning as people come and go. On average, there will be between 25 and 35 children, although on one wet February Monday morning only nine attendees turned up! This was in sharp contrast to our Halloween party one year when the date happened to coincide with the school holidays. We are not certain but think there must have been over 70 children and adults, most of whom were wearing Halloween costume.
Do I need to bring refreshments?
No, unless your child has any special dietary requirements, including food for very young babies.
What refreshments are provided?
Water and juice are available, primarily for the young ones. Tea and coffee are provided for the adults. There is also a supply of small pieces of fruit, cake and pastries. We are unable to guarantee that all refreshments were made in a nut-free environment.
