A playgroup in Shireoaks has some exciting new additions to its toybox thanks to a Community Grant from a local councillor.
The Tiddler Playgroup, based at Shireoaks Village Hall, have been able to purchase a brand-new toddler climbing frame and skipping stones thanks to a £200 grant from Cllr Lynn Dixon, Ward Member for Worksop North-West.
Peter Stanley, Treasurer of Tiddlers Playgroup said: “The new toys are a welcome addition to the group thanks to the grant from Cllr Dixon. We want the group to continue to grow and be an essential hub for families to use and enjoy.”
The Tiddler Playgroup welcomes children aged three and under and has been running for the last 10 years. Currently the group sees between 10-12 families use the facilities on a Thursday between 9.30am and 11.30am. Parents can enjoy a hot drink and a slice of cake.
Cllr Dixon, said: “For 10 years the Tiddler Group has been so popular for families in Shireoaks, it has been a hub that children are able to play and make friends.
The work that Peter and Ginny have done to grow the group has been amazing, I’m proud to support this group through our Community Grants.”
