If you are a parent or caregiver for children under 5, Wadestown Playgroup may be for you!

Playgroup provides unstructured play in a safe, secure environment and is an excellent forum for meeting others in the community. We have a wide range of toys and equipment (both indoor and outdoor) and activities including painting, craft, playdough and sandpit. We also arrange for regular educational visits by children’s entertainers such as the travelling farm or fire engine.

We are a parent run organisation. Each child attending must have a parent or caregiver stay with them, interacting in the play activities with their child. Playgroup relies on the parents and caregivers to run smoothly and all members are asked to contribute, which makes for a great atmosphere. We operate a roster system for duties on sessions and we also have a Management Committee of volunteers.

We have places for new members available on some days, email us to confirm: wadestownplaygroup@gmail.com Age from birth to age 5. Session times 9.30 – 11.30am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday during school terms. Attend one or more sessions a week (subject to places available).

Holiday sessions operate once a week for permanent members only, subject to demand. Fees We are funded partly by the Ministry of Education and partly by parental fees. Playgroup is free of charge for children under one year old attending with an older sibling.

Playgroup is a bargain! Fees for permanent enrolled members are: Per TERM: $25 1 child, 1 session $50 1 child, 2 sessions $50 2 children, 1 session $60 max. i.e. No matter how many children from one family attend or how many sessions, you only pay $60 Casual attendance $5 per session per family
