Recommended Parent, Baby & Toddler Playgroups in Edinburgh: By Area & Days of the Week
Parent, Baby & Toddler Playgroups in Edinburgh & the Lothians
Parent Baby & Toddler Groups are the ideal way for you and your child to socialise, meet new parents, and for your 0-3-year-old to play in a large space with different toys. Lots of age-appropriate toys, singing and a snack will be provided. These are often run in church halls by volunteers. You will probably be asked for a small entry contribution (c.£2-£3 per family) towards running costs. These run term times only.
