Playgroups' first week

Hi
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came along to our first two playgroups this week. We had two very good turnouts and lots of enthusiasm from parents and children, which also meant plenty of fun. Both my daughters enjoyed their playgroups and are already looking forward to next time...
Little Bo-Peep was a huge success. Despite small and big babies we managed to get a good balance and everyone seemed happy. The mums/nannies were also great singers...which I really appreciated particularly!
Ready Steady Bo! was also fun though a little more hectic due to more people and also a larger age-range than expected. The under-3s couldn't really concentrate for very long while also some parents were expecting a children's English lesson. This isn't really what Ready Steady Bo! is about; an English-speaking parent's participation is part of what makes it work, especially at the start. Also, I need help with the singing as my voice isn't up to much at the best of times and at the moment is weakened by winter colds and coughs etc.
So please do come along again next week but remember to sing out and encourage your child to do the same. Thanks and see you there...Same times, same places...
