Playtime at St Hilda's 311 The Parade - Tuesdays for 0-5 year olds

Clive from Island Bay

Welcoming all parents (and grandparents) of under 5's (especially under 2's who aren't quite ready for Kindy or playcentre yet) to join us for a cuppa, while your children learn by playing with our massive range of educational toys both inside and outside. In St Hilda's Church Hall, 311 the Parade, right by the No 1 and 29 bus stop, and with plenty of free parking right by the church in Humber Street. We will have the hall well heated and there are usually some nice nibbles for you to enjoy.
