Mumsnet Talk

Hello,

I'm mum to a great 19 months little boy. I'm French speaking, his dad is English speaking as well as the nursery he goes to.
I'd love him to have some French speaking friends but unfortunately all Franch speaking playgroups are either during the week (I workfull time) or in South London.

I'm based in Kentish Town and would be really happy to start something! Please get in touch if you are interested or know anyone who'd be!

Thanks!

Corinne

Hi Corinne.
My husband is French and speaks to our 20 month year old daughter in French. We are trying to bring her up bilingually and would love for her to have some bilingual French/English friends. We moved to Friern Barnet from Kentish Town a couple of years ago. We'd be happy to help start a playgroup. Has anyone else got back to you?

Helen

Hi Helen,

Thanks for your message! I've posted a few messages around and you are actually the first to reply!
I'd love to start something on weekends (as we both work full-time) maybe 1 or 2 Saturday a month to start with and hopefully find a few more families who would be interested.
Do you know any other French speaking families?

Corinne

Hi Corinne

I'm French and live in Kentish Town, mum to a little boy which is now 3 month- old. I would be interested by a French speaking playgroup.

Christelle

Hi Christelle & Naich,

That's great! What about meeting up next week (20-21.08)? If the weather is nice we could go to the playground in Hampstead Heath.

Corinne

Hi Corinne, Christelle and Helen,

I was just wondering if you did meet up and think about starting up a French-speaking playgroup? I live in north London too (Haringey) and would love to take my 15 month old daughter to a French group on a Saturday... Please let me know!

Thanks!

Hi,

I would be interested in coming along to a French playgroup on a Saturday (I am also around during the week). I speak French to my 2 year old daughter Lydia.

I have just set up a French drop in group for the under 5's called Bonjour Nenette, that runs in Highbury on Friday mornings at 10am (just for an hour). If you know anyone who wants to sing songs and do little games in French, please pass them details of the group! http://www.bonjour-nenette.co.uk/

Good luck with the playgroup,
Joanne

Count me in for a french playgroup in north london. My gils are french speajers and I. Would love them t meet other french speakng children!

Hello, Just for info, there is a french-speaking playgroup based in Hackney - I haven't been but have friends who go and really enjoy it. If you get on their mailing list, they often have meetups and events on weekends.

My husband is also a french speaker so I look forward to hearing if you start your own playgroup.

Just realisedmy message is full of typos, sorry! Im not usually that bad

Hi everyone,
I'm really keen to meet other French speaking mums and kids or babies. I have a 2 and a half month old girl who I speak French to but I'd love to speak French to a few adults!! I live in Gospel Oak and am pretty mobile. I'm around during the week.
