A NEW playgroup has been set up in the Cynon Valley to cater especially for parents with multiple tots.
Magical Multiples is run every Wednesday, from 10am until noon, at St Elvan’s Parish Hall, Aberdare.
Faye Airey, a mother of two-and-a-half-year-old twins, thinks the group is a great way for parents, grandparents and carers to spend a couple of hours a week.
“Going to playgroups are often a bit difficult for parents of twins and triplets,” she said.
“While other mothers are sat down while their child is playing happily, we are usually busy trying to settle the second or third child.
“It is a lot easier to relax when you are with people in a similar situation, who understand the demands of having not one, but two or three children of the same age,” she said.
Triplets mother Yvonne Morgan loves going to Magical Multiples and believes it not only improves her own social life, but that of her two-and-a-half-year-olds Abi, Jac, and Kara.
“I feel it is important for them to mingle with other children their own age, because otherwise they only have each other to play with,” she said.
“They love coming to the playgroup – it also means my house stays a lot tidier too,” she said.
Magical Multiples is the only playgroup of its kind in the South Wales Valleys, the next nearest being either Cardiff or Newport.
Playgroup co-ordinators are keen to get parents and carers from all over the Rhondda Cynon Taff area to bring their children along. The playgroup is non-profit-making and costs £2 per session, which covers the cost of the hall and also snacks for the children.
Monthly newsletters about forthcoming events are also included. For more details call 07852 666556.
