Hi my husband and I are moving to Kumeu in December and I was wondering if anyone on here lives in the area who might like to meet up or can tell me about play groups etc. i have searched the web but havent really found much. Please reply here or you are welcome to email me on ganda.hyland@xtra.co.nz. We have two little boys 5months and 19months old.
Thanks Amanda |

There's a great playcentre in Kumeu, there are playgroups at Whenuapai and Herald Island.
I'm considering joining Kumeu playcentre myself in the new year. I live in Hobsonville. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I was just going to suggest that you try the local Playcentre. All the best for the move ------------- Lindsey

1st mummy (Amanda) - hopefully we will be joining you!! We are currently looking for a home in Kumeu, Riverhead area but have been unlucky so far. We have a little boy who is nearly 4 months. Would be keen to meet up once you are settled if you are. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was going to suggest the playcentre too. Otherwise theres playgroups down towards westgate / hobsonville too (I live in West Harbour so not sure about right in Kumeu, although my kids are at daycare in kumeu so I could ask around).
Caliandjack - did you look at the west harbour pc? ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

I live in the Kumeu area and my DD use to go to the Kumeu playcentre. It has all the facilities etc you need, but I didn't feel like I fit in with the other Mums that well and didn't really enjoy going so it was short lived for us. Once my DD turned 3 we found a fantastic private kindy in Riverhead called Nature's Explorers. She is now 4.2 years old and has attended there for the past year, it is awesome I highly recommend it.
We are moving back to the Hibiscus Coast at the end of the year, and while I can't wait to get back to the beach, I will miss my DD's fantastic Kindy. ------------- Lou http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

The Mums I know that go to SPACE at Kumeu playcentre love it. My girl is 11 months and I'm always keen to meet up. I go to wriggle and rhyme at the library at Westgate. I'm also thinking of starting my own coffee group in Whenuapai for AF and non-AF Mums. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

I used to attend Kumeu Playcentre with my DD1 for about a year and held one of the positions there, but DD1 now goes to a private kindy. I also went along to West Harbour Playcentre but I felt more welcome at the Kumeu one.
I am keen for a local coffee group caliandjack  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

| I'm pretty sure Porse runs a playgroup in Kumeu most likely at the playcentre on one of the mornings they dont use it. You don't have to be a porse person to go to them, they are totally open. I'll try and find out for you..... |

Porse did a playgroup at West Harbour PC too, but I didn't realise anyone could go.
If you want to know the pros/cons of West Harbour I'm happy to let you know Caliandjack?! (We stopped going, but went for almost 2 years). If its on a weds or early on a monday I'd be keen for a local coffee group too (I work the other days sorry).  ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |
