PULL OUT AND KEEP!
EARLY YEARS’ SPECIAL
Playgroups in your area
Low cost, friendly, local and accessible – playgroups can be a life line when you are at home with small children. We asked mums via Facebook across the whole area to recommend groups they know and enjoy – and we were overwhelmed with the response! Thanks to their generous help we have compiled a comprehensive and up-to-date list of playgroups across the whole area. We have checked details but just in case of disappointment, please do your own checks before setting out.
