Does anyone know of any West Auckland Play Groups - where everyone is welcome, and you don't have to be of a specific age or race to attend.
What I am looking for is a 1-2 hour per week session, no fuss (less structured) play group, where the focus is on the kiddies having fun while the mums chill & chat. Any tips greatly appreciated. Cheers. |

I am finding Playcentre a real mission atm, so much work and responsibility. If Maya didn't enjoy it so much I would seriously consider chucking it in and finding a playgroup. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thanks for these comments. I was beginning to wonder if I was being a bit "precious" about the whole Playcentre thing.
I think some sort of playgroup will suit me and my little man much more. Thanx. |

Thanks gytsrik, you're a star 
We have started attending a playgroup twice a week in our area, and we are having a lot of fun! And I finally got that information from Parents Centre - I probably shouldn't have been so "aggresive" earlier, I think they were waiting for Term 2 to start before sending me the info... |
