We are a long established, thriving community stay and play renound for our friendly atmosphere running weekly sessions in the bright and spacious Lingwood Village Hall. We are seeking another grand/parent for our organising team. This voluntary role is for someone with a child(ren) (age 0-5y) and gives the opportunity to learn new skills whilst also enjoying the playgroup with your child(ren).

Our sessions include activities either craft or messy play, large range of toys, a nice comfy area for our smaller tots to enjoy tummy time and bright coloured play gyms and we supply healthy snacks and drinks for the children too. We have regular guests attend our sessions which include a Librarian, Dental nurse, Broadland police officers, Tropic Ambassador, UEA School of Psychology and we have our own Children's book stall selling new books very reasonably priced.

In 2024 we were awarded the Norfolk Parent and Toddler Group Quality Mark and food hygiene 5* rating.  In 2025, we were shortlisted for Broadland District Council's Community Organisation of the Year Award.
