What is a Pop up Playgroup?

Pop up Playgroups are free for everyone to attend.

Our sessions are facilitated by our experienced early childhood team and are aimed at children 0 – 6 years.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for you and your children to make new friends, explore your local parks, and discover a world of learning and fun that Playgroups have to offer. A variety of activities will be on offer to suit varying needs of children such as:

  • Music
  • Craft
  • Physical play
  • Imaginary play
  • Story time

You will also have the opportunity to speak to the team about Community Playgroups, Supported Playgroups and Kindergartens in your local area.

Sessions will be run in all weather, so please dress appropriately to the conditions. Please note that in extreme weather, Pop Up Playgroups will be cancelled.

Bookings are not required. Please remember your hats, water, and snacks.
