Here's a great way to both get out of the house and get to hang out in a warm and welcoming environment during the chilly months with other parents / caregivers - and not just once but twice a week! Just drop in to any session you are able to - no stress if it clashes with nap times, everyone is welcome at any time no matter how often (or not!)

What a great place to come during the cold winter months. It's warm and welcoming, you not only get out of the house but you get to hang out with other adults (and their tamariki!) and enjoy a nice hot cuppa while having a chat about whatever's on top for you. ☕
Just pop in on a Tuesday or Friday morning. 😊

Well thank goodness the school holidays are over and groups and activities for under-fives are back to normal.
This week the playgroup at Playcentre will be back up and running. If you've not been before, who not pop in? It's a great chance to connect with others in the community, share experiences and maybe even pick up some handy tips from others along the way. 😊

Looking for an excuse to get out of the house this week? Why not head out to playgroup at the Ranfurly Playcentre... it's on twice each week during school term time and is a warm and welcoming environment. At the very least you can have a nice hot cuppa and a chat with other parents ! 😊🫖☕
