Hi Dolly,

I think playgroups are great! But you have to choose your playgroup carefully to make sure the time there is enjoyable.

I went to 3 playgroups before settling into one. There was one ran by mothers that was terrible. They threw the toys on the floor and the mothers just sat around and grouped other chatting (ie not even trying to include us newbie mums or make us feel welcome)

I then went to another one which has funding by the govt and they have proper teachers and specialists come in and they are great!!!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoy playgroup (even though it should be really for DD LOL) but they are so informative, and you get to socialise with a wide range of parents and your kids interact and learn how to share (thats what im hoping anyway!)
