Mary and Hameeda and any other assistant helping have up to date CRB checks. Parents of children over five are welcome to stay for a cup of tea or leave their child for the session. Playgroup parents are to stay with their child. If your child is aged four then ask about which the best group is for them to join as it will depend on the individual child. Mary has been running Blossom, the former Wednesday morning playgroup for the past three years. This new twist on Blossom will still be run by Mary with Hameeda taking care of the playgroup, while Mary concentrates on art and craft with older children.
