Messy play at the church next to the cinema is very good. My wife has taken my daughter to a number of play groups with varying success.
My wife is a fan of the playgroup at the church opposite the Prince of Wales PH off the Weston Road. She goes there most Mondays.
She has also been to a play group at Risingbrook Church; she liked the venue and the organisers. However, some of the mums that went to it were not very pleasant, as such she has not gone back.
