Meet - Playdate Finder

It's all very well saying that children make it easy to meet other parents, but what happens before your child starts school and you can strike up conversation about packed lunches at the school gates? It's even tougher for those of us who are far from family and friends.....

We can all remember what it's like having a pre-school child (or a few!) at home and how much easier life seems when they have someone of a similar age to play with and you can sit down with another mum and chat over a coffee.

Here is where our new and improved playdate finder comes in. We still aim for mums and little ones to meet up but we've changed how we operate.

I'm looking for a playdate for my child

Simply click here and complete our form to request a playdate. When it's submitted, your information will appear on our spreasdsheet here (it might take a minute or two for your information to appear).

Please note that this is purely a noticeboard service. The NMSG does not put parents in touch with each other - it's up to you to make first contact.  

Why not take a look here at those who have submitted the form already - someone might be looking for you! You can also take a look at the list of established playgroups and playdates here. You can contact anyone on the spreadsheets by emailing them - don't be shy!

Please note that this is a free service operated by the NMSG Singapore. If you receive information or requests from third parties offering formal playgroups or playdates for a cost, please report this to the NMSG.

I already run a playgroup

Remember what it was like before you (and your little one) had your circle of friends? Now it's your chance to give something back. Complete this form to advertise your group so that more mums and tots can join. Click here to view the spreadsheet.
