new to Kingston - want to meet new people

[MumOfN]

Hi,

I recently moved to Kingston and am looking to meet other mums, playgroups, story & rhyme, coffee mornings, just general things to do. My son is 1, any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Hi MumOfN, how are you?

I am a local nanny (looking for work!!) a mum to my 10 month old daughter and have also just opened up my own parent and child group in Walton on Thames (not far from Kingston)
Where have you moved from?

If you havnt alreay then Id also recommend going on to netmums as they have have a meet-a-mum section which is excellent, I use the Kingston and the North Surrey site.

Take Care

I'm in north Kingston but my children are a bit older than yours. There are tons of baby groups here. Have a look at Family Grapevine magazine for some ideas. You could start with Tumbletots, at the Barnfield Centre. Also I used to take my two to Toddlers Funtime at the Hawker Centre. They have sessions on Wednesday and Friday mornings and my boys loved it.

Also the children's library runs story reading sessions. They'll have a list of dates and times. You could also try Cafe Au Play at the bottom of the Rotunda but people tend to go there with friends so you're unlikely to meet other mums but you can have a coffee while your child plays with the toys.

net mums also have lists of all the groups, and whats on, in and around the kingston area!

Hi there is a great mother and toddler group at United Reform Church on Mon-Wed 10-12.Lovely people and very big hall with lots of toys and ride ons,slide,wendy house.Its the best one in Kingston.Its opposite the main post office and near council.

Also give Early Years Information Service a call they will have a whole list of all the toddler groups in kingston and othe activities.their number is 0208 5476582.

If you want to get out on your own and run Stragglers running club meet at the Albion Pub by Fairfield Swimming pool on Mondays 7.30 You can start walk & run and progress lovely people of all ages.
