An up-to-date list of stay & play groups for 0 - 5 years old in Waltham Forest including Leyton, Leytonstone, Chingford and Walthamstow.

Most playgroups will be term time only and some will require pre-booking or a fee/donation. Please check each group’s website for the latest information before attending.
