Supported Playgroups

Our supported playgroups are welcoming, free groups for parents and carers with young children. Led by trained staff, they combine play, learning and social connection with practical parenting support when you need it.

Each session includes fun, age-appropriate activities that support your child’s learning and development, along with simple ideas you can try at home. You’ll also have the chance to meet other local families, build supportive networks and make new connections.

Our team can offer guidance on things like routines, behaviour and development, and help connect you with other local services if you need additional support.
