The Playcircle journey began seven years ago with a simple aim - to set up a parent and baby group that would bring together creative sensory play, music, singing and movement in a session that was inspiring, enriching and meaningful to both the child and care giver.

Armed with a teapot, an armful of instruments, a few scarves and a bear and a mouse, we began our very first group with a handful of enthusiastic mummy friends who were willing to be our guinea pigs. Together, we created a safe space where music and stories could be shared and we invited each other to join in freely and confidently in building adventurous and imaginative play. The focus was on creating a shared experience for all, which encouraged caring and loving interactions with our little people whilst supporting and looking after each other as well.

After the initial months of just us, our babies and 4 or 5 other mummies, our little play circle began to grow. The singing grew louder, the play more vibrant and the sessions felt fuller and more nourishing. We felt a real need for this group, a welcoming circle of friends. The Playcircle Family.

We continue to grow and learn together.
