Hi there. Good to see you joining in - be warned, this place is addictive!

I think it depends on the group. The group I had was fine, but we didn't really keep in touch once we all went back to work. Occasionally see each other at the shops now. I wouldn't complain about them. Other groups are closer, others are cliquey - just like workplace relationships. All you have in common is your child's age, so not everyone is going to be BFFs just through that one factor. It can be the start of a beautiful friendship (two of my good friends I only know because our sons went to the same nursery), or maybe not.

I'm glad to hear you had a good experience of the groups though. It can make all the difference in the world.
