Welcome to the Hovingham Playgroup

The Hovingham Playgroup runs every Wednesday in the Hovingham Village Hall from 9:30 until11:30, at £3 per session, per family.

Tea/coffee/biscuits are included for adults, and from time to time we may sell additional cakes to help fundraise to keep the group going. As children can have differing allergies, and are at different stages of their weaning journey, we think it is safest for parents to provide their own snacks and then they are free to work to their own routine.

We have set out play areas but as we get into the swing of things, we will add theme weeks and crafts. If you have any suggestions or requests please let us know. The current layout is not set in stone, so if something is not working for you, then please do not hesitate to speak to us and we will see what improvements we can make.

We do hope you and your little ones enjoy yourselves and if we can be of any further help, please just ask, we are a friendly bunch!

Catherine, Ann, Debs, Jayne, Rosie and Bex.
