Informal groups

parent, need to follow the rules for
gathering and mixing.
Parent and child groups for children under 5 provide a space for families to connect while children play freely or participate in structured activities. Sessions last for an hour or two with a maximum of 30 attendees. Indoor singing is limited to 6 adults, with good ventilation, while outdoor singing is permitted. Childminder groups have specific guidelines to follow, and informal groups must adhere to gathering rules.
