Kelmscott Playgroup Inc.

Kelmscott Playgroup is a not-for-profit organisation run by a voluntary parent committee.

We operate at the Riverdale Community Centre, in Kelmscott and our excellent rented premises contain child-appropriate equipment (including toilet facilities) and amenities, which include air-conditioning, covered play areas and all-weather surfaces

Playleader

At Kelmscott Playgroup we try to provide a stimulating play experience for children from 0 – 5 years of age, with the assistance of our Playleader.

Family interaction

Kelmscott Playgroup is designed so parents/carers can interact with their children and participate in activities together, away from the normal chores and distractions of home.

Age appropriate activities

Kelmscott Playgroup offers a variety of age-appropriate activities, which focus on the children’s physical, social and intellectual development. The end of each session consists of interactive experiences. A large variety of toys are available to encourage play and stimulate imagination.

The focus of each session is on the children’s physical and intellectual development with different art and craft experiences offered each week. These may include painting, cutting, glueing, play dough, construction and loads more. We also have “Mat” time where the children are invited to listen to a story, watch a puppet show, dance to music or join in with singing and musical instruments. Some weeks revolve around a theme and there is also plenty of inside and outside play equipment for all to enjoy. During the warmer months we have “Water Play”, therefore, a change of clothes is recommended.

Joining

New members are always welcome. We have a simple registration process. Your first session is free, if you come and do happen to decide you don't wish to continue, that's fine (or you might decide to come back another time, but that’s fine too).
