Come along to our playgroup in a lovely, big church hall. There's toys for all ages and lots of space for the little ones to run/crawl/toddle around in. There's a hot cuppa for the adults and snacks for the children and we'll have a little sing-a-long too. Playgroup is free to attend but when we have Lily there doing the singing then we ask for a voluntary contribution to help pay for this. There are parking spaces outside the church but it's permits only between 10&12 and you can only pay to park for an hour at a time. There are spaces round the corner on Atkins Road where you can park for longer. There are bus routes which stop nearby and it's a 10 ish minute walk from Balham station. Please note : To gain entry, please press the buzzer for 'Church' and one of us will let you in. Also, if your little ones are older and not sleeping, the church would prefer it if you left your buggy outside in the buggy park.  There is no playgroup next week as it’s half term.
