Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hello,

I am a mother of a 1 year old baby girl and am looking for a playgroup/mum-kids group in Neuchatel. Both me and my baby need to make friends as we are new to this town and hardly know anybody. I am hoping someone on this forum can help me out. Why not start a playgroup if there isn't an existing one already?Hope my post will generate some replies

Take care

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi
I moved to Neuchatel from Ireland in August 2011 with my now 9 month old boy. I'm currently a full time mum so am looking for new ways of getting out and about and meeting new people & getting to know the area better.
If you would like to meet for a coffee let me know

take care

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi Martina,

Lovely to hear from you. Why don't we meet up when you come back from Ireland? We are pretty flexible as I'm not working yet. How old is your little boy?

Talk soon,

Claudia

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hello
My name is Sophie and I have a little boy of 14 months and would love to start a playgroup and to meet up with other mums & toddlers.

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi Martina and Sophie,

I can't do Wednesday but Thursday afternoon is good for me. How about a nice playground if the weather is good? I was thinking maybe the one in Auvernier or else the one in town, whichever suits.
What do you think?

Claudia

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Maybe Auvernier so. Parking is just next to the playground and easy to get to on public transport too. How does 2.30pm suit everyone. Do we need a backup plan in case the weather is not with us?

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi ladies
That sounds good however I don't know where that playground is. Is walking distance from Neuchatel or do I need to take the train r bus?? I'd really appreciate directions.
Look forward to meeting you both & the kids

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi,

There#s two options, either the train to Auvernier and then walk down through the village to the lake, it's just there.
Or (easier) the tram that goes out to Bourdry. Get off at Auvernier, the playground is just beside the tram stop.

Great, looking forward to tomorrow. Another friend from Ireland may tag along with her little boy.

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Brilliant to hear you'll all get together tomorrow - everything crossed for better weather Hopefully the first of many. If ever you want to come up to my mountains for picnic or BBQ, I'd happily have you all here.

Re: Looking for a playgroup in Neuchatel

Hi all, I've just seen this and would love to join you along with my little girl (2years old)

If you do anything on Friday mornings or Wednesdays count me in. It's a great playground in Auvernier, so hope it's nice weather for you all! Hope to see you another time!
