I'm looking for a play group for my 3 year old son. I have recently quit working and so he will no longer be going to daycare. I know that this is going to devisate him since he loves to goto School as we call it. He is a very out going 3 year old and I dont want him ti loss that. He needs play friends. ANy help would be grate.
Call the Mildenhall Chapel for information on MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) which runs from Sept-May. Also, Liberty Tots is available on Lakenheath from 1000-1130 on Tues and Fri at the AYA. If you live off base, check in the foyers of the local churches and community centers for information on play groups that they offer.
I'm not sure of play groups for 3 yr olds, but I did want to let you know that you are entitled to 5 sessions of pre-school/childcare in your local area for free. This is available for all UK residents. So if you're not doing childcare or preschool because of the cost there is non. Let me know if you need more info and I'll get it for you.

Here is a playdate group for our area, with weekly postings of playdate schedules:
Hi Erin, I'm actually in Germany right now but, I was at Lakenheath for almost 5 years. There was a MOPS playgroup and a PWOC group. You should be able to find more info on these groups from the WICO office or the Base Chapel. Best of luck!
At the Youth center on RAFL they have little play groups that get together from 10-1130 on Tues and Fridays... check it out!!
The Medical Auxillary Group, MAG, holds a playgroup the first and third Tuesday of the month. In the summer/warmer months the playgroups will increase to every Tuesday. It starts at 10/10:30 and usually extends to noontime or lunchtime. We vary the locations between local parks, indoor playgrounds, etc. For more info, check out www.lakenheathmag.com
You don't have to be a member of MAG to go to the playgroup nor does your spouse need to work in the Med Group. We all need a little support from the other SAHparents in the area. Look forward to seeing you there!
Thanks to everyone that has given me loads of info. I look forward to checking into all the play groups
