thanks girls.. i was starting to worry it was just me.
I dont expect to have someone ring a bell to say its time to move to the next activity, but, just more "station" type things set up, as well as general toys etc.. just as you girls have said you experience.
I did try the last playgroup in my suburb today.. no one was there. There is a suburb only about 10min away, that has more church & school based playgroups, which i guess might be my better option. I just worry then that if it will be an issue as i wont be sending my kids to that school.
