PLAY TIME EVERY FRIDAY! Who is coming?
For All Ages, Mum's & Dad's and Carers.
Hi everyone, My name is Sandra and i am your playgroup host & coordinator.
I have 6 year old Boy Girl Twins in prep.
This is my fifth year as a Brisbane Multiple Birth Association Member. I look forward to having some fun and helping any way i can during your journey as a multi-parent.
Playtime Details:
Location: Southside Uniting Church, 24 Pope Street, Tarragindi.
PARKING: There is a parking bay at the back of the building walk up the steps or there is ramp access for prams. We also have permission that you can park in the disabled spaces as well.
Also there is extra parking across the road from the hall/church in the vacant lot. Right side only.
Please Note: Families must be a club member to attend, however if you are not members yet you can come to Playtime once to check it out before you join. It's $2 per family or pay in advanced 5 sessions for $10 which goes towards the hall hire.
Playgroup set up: We set up tables and put some toys out for the children. There is a little fenced in outdoor area for the kids to play, with a sand pit, water play, small cubby house and more.
We have a change table on site as well and an area downstairs for those who prefer some privacy during breastfeeds.
For the little ones we have some floor mats and toys for them to play with. I’d recommend bringing your own blanket or something to pop down on top of the floor mats.
There are no shared plates at this stage, so bring your own morning tea snacks.
We do provide tea, coffee, chai latte and hot chocolate.

When my kiddies were small I found it a nice place to meet other parents with multiples and go somewhere where I could let them have a play but not have to worry about them wandering off.
We’d love to have you and your bubs there. However completely understand that some days it’s just not happening. So if you can be there that would be great. All kids 5 & under are welcome. If you have older kids that are home schooled or during school holidays they are welcome to come also. If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
A few of us have been attending playgroup since we were pregnant to see what we were in for, then brought our babies once we felt it was the right time.
We don’t have any policy in relation to vaccinations. This is at the discretion of the family and their healthcare physicians.
We do follow standard procedures from Qld Health in relation to illness, e.g. gastro stay away until 24-48 hours have passed since last symptoms. Common sense practice, if you are sick, please do not attend.
COVID SAFE REQUIREMENTS:
*Please sign in & hand sanitise before entry
*Masks can be used if you prefer but not mandatory. The venue has plenty of space for physical distancing and good ventilation.
*Please cover any sneezes & coughs into your elbow.
*Please stay home if you feel unwell or have any cold or flu symptoms
*If you have in the last 14 days, been to, or been in contact with anyone, returning from overseas or a Covid or contact tracing listed Hotspot, please do not attend
I would like to ensure that everyone continues to remain safe.
As multiple parents we all understand the challenges of raising twins (and more! ) and this playgroup and it's members can be a supportive ear and a hot cuppa for us parents.
Hope we'll have the opportunity to meet more beautiful multiparents and babies.
