The local community has welcomed a new playgroup to the area, with Glenmore Park Little Makers coming together for the first-time last month.

The group meets every Friday, from 9:30am to 11:00am at Surveyors Creek Community Centre. The cost to participate in the group is $5 per casual visit or $40 per 10-week term (during school term only).

“Our group is focused around messy and sensory play. Everything we do is edible, and we cater for the ages of 0 to 5 years of age. Everyone who attends also helps with set up, packing up, morning tea duties and cleaning” said Glenmore Park Little Makers’ Riri Kanjou.

To be a part of the group, it requires families to sign up to Playgroup NSW for insurance purposes, which is currently free for the next 5 years.

The playgroup is not-for-profit, and they try to keep costs affordable so that all families can attend.

“I look forward to seeing the children get messy and have fun, without being told no you can’t do that because you will get dirty with friends. I would love to run it on more than one day, but it’s a lot of work so I would need a fantastic team like the one I have now” explained Riri.
