Any Cantonese or Mandarin speaking playgroups in Reading area?

Are there any playgroups for Cantonese or Mandarin speaking children in the Reading area? I have a 2 year old daughter that I am trying to bring up bi-lingually and, as my Cantonese is pretty basic, I'm wondering if there is anything that I can get her involved in that might develop her Cantonese a bit more. I am aware that there is there is a Reading Chinese School but only for 5 yrs +.

Hey sleepypig, my little boy has just turned three and goes to an Anglo-Spanish bilingual nursery in Fulham and they offer Mandarin Lessons for 12.5 hours a week.
At first I was a bit weary thinking it was going to be too much too soon, but I was amazed how much their little brains can take in. He comes home and sings nursery rhymes in Spanish and Mandarin; it is the cutest thing ever, I am really impressed.

Anyway the nursery is called Peques Anglo-Spanish Nursery Schools, and you can find them on:
website www.peques.co.uk
or call them on 0207 385 0055

I know thisisn't much help for Reading but in case any other Cantonese parents find this post, I've set up a Cantonese playgroup in central London where we sing a few nursery rhymes, play games and encourage the kids to make Cantonese speaking friends. Email me [email protected] if you want more details.

We've just set up a website with a bit more information on it - have a look at www.playcantonese.com

We're starting a PlayCantonese group in Reading - the first session is on Saturday, 3pm at Reading Central Library. Email [email protected] for more details.
