[marshlander]

I'm not surprised you're upset, these things are sent to try us, and try they do, but good advice already, really hope you find another group who will appreciate your efforts and in put.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and the advise.

I can contacted the people concerned, they have offered me a compomise. Which is that we get there at 9am as normal, wait outside until 9.45 to see if there are any spaces. So I told them that that idea is a load of rubbish, as who wants to do that with a 2 year old and a 3 month old baby. But by offering this they are doing all that they need to, as set out by the "managment".

So I have started looking for venues, so that I can start my own group. Thanks for the idea Twiggy and everyone else . I am going to tailor it for premmie babies, as I know first hans that once your baby is sent home there is very little help/support available. A couple of other premmie Mummys have said that they will lend a hand too. I will let you know how I get on.

That's a fabulous idea, good luck with it all. xx

Don't let this put you off but you may need to check regs - mother and toddler groups are easy but playgroups are bound up in all kinds of red tape - ofted registration, qualified staff, adult child ratios etc. you can get training at the 'unenployment' office (brain won't co-operate; it's not called that these days!)

Also look into liability insurance - nuf said.

Good luck - let us know how you get on.
