Under Fives Roundabout Toddler Playgroup for children and parents/carers
The Toddler Group caters for children aged from birth up to 4 years, accompanied by a parent/carer. We welcome mums, dads, grandparents and childminders to come and participate in fun activities together. Tuesday it is led by Dana, our Deputy Manager and Friday led by Sam, our Manager. Their expert knowledge and understanding of Early Years Education means the groups are exceptionally well led and very popular.
Under Fives Roundabout Toddler Playgroup meets on Tuesdays and Fridays during term-time between 9:15am and 11:30am in the Community Room at Mayfield Primary School, Warwick Road, Cambridge, CB4 3HN. The entrance is on the corner of Warwick Road and Carisbrooke Road and there is free on-street parking. There are a range of inside activity stations as well as outside toys and bikes. You will need to bring snack & drink for your child but we will be offering tea and coffee and biscuits for the grown ups. Please do not bring nuts into the toddler playgroup.

The Toddler Playgroup is unique to the Under Fives Roundabout. This group is far more than an opportunity for your children to learn and explore, it provides a setting to foster a sense of community and common values as well as enabling a support network for parents and carers. You are very welcome to come and join and there is no need to pre-register.
The group is limited to 24 families, however in the summer months we can comfortably welcome more families due to our fabulous outdoor space. You can pay on the day or buy a pre-payment card but there is no need to pre-register.
