- Playgroups will run for the first 1 hour and 50 minutes of each timeslot. Each playgroup is required to finish 10 minutes early to allow for playgroup families to leave the space before the next playgroup families are due to arrive.
- The last 20 minutes of each playgroup session is dedicated to cleaning of the space. This includes cleaning high touch surfaces such as tables and chairs, large outdoor settings such as climbing frames and slides and resources such as toys. It is the responsibility of all playgroup members to clean the space.
- Cleaning supplies will be provided for playgroup members to participate in cleaning of the playgroup room after each session.
