Memories of the Playgroup Movement

The Playgroup Movement, which began in Britain in the early 1960s, made a great difference to the lives of many children and their parents. Voluntary Playgroups depended on the active involvement of parents and, whilst many Playgroups employed a Supervisor, it was usually the parents who took on full responsibility for the administration of the groups, and mothers regularly helped at the play sessions on a rota system. The Playgroup philosophy was that children learned through play and that parents and children learned together.

These 'Memories' record the experiences of those involved in the Playgroup Movement in Wales and the effect it had on their lives and their families.
