Playgroup

A gentle, nourishing and welcoming community space for preschool families and their young children (0-6 years). Enjoy a gentle morning rhythm of circle time (group songs and movement), making bread buns, storytelling, and free play.

It is also a great way to get to know more about Steiner education, and to connect with a supportive community.

Come enjoy our space and breathe out!

All welcome - please contact us to enquire or book a free session.
