FairyWren Steiner Playgroup in Tasmania offers a beautiful home~like environment where the treasures of parenting and childhood can be discovered, enjoyed and nurtured. Fairy Wren Steiner Playgroup is 15min South of Hobart in Tasmania, We offer families with children between birth and three years a warm and nurturing environment where children have the inner space to move and play, and parents build a supportive, connected community. Each playgroup meets once a week during the school term and is facilitated by a Steiner trained playgroup leader, who guides the group through the morning/afternoon activities including stories, songs, bread making, free-play, and parents have the opportunity to create a handcrafted toy for their child. Our cottage is a warm and inviting early childhood space within the grounds of Tarremah Steiner School. Our toys are made from natural materials that nurture the child’s imagination and creativity while the enclosed garden is a haven for outdoor exploration. In 2024 we offer the following sessions:

Thursday 9 am - 11.30 am
Babies and Toddler Group (birth - 2 years)

Thursday 12.40 pm - 2.40 pm (3 years)

Friday 9 am ~ 11.30 am (2 - 3 years)

The consistent rhythm of the playgroup session provides an environment in which children feel safe to enter their dreamlike imaginative play. Adults have the opportunity to help with morning tea preparations, learn new craft skills to take into the home, and enjoy the company of other adults. We strive to achieve a balance between the social needs of the adults and an awareness of what is happening around the children. ENROLMENT

There’s a special kind of magic in the air when the children receive their little balls of bread dough. With flour-dusted fingers, they shape their buns — some carefully, some with wild delight — before placing them on the tray ready for the oven.

As the smell begins to drift through the room, one or two little voices will ask with shining eyes, “Are the cwunchy buns weddy?”

After a gentle wait, we gather to enjoy them warm and golden for morning tea — a moment of simple joy, shared.

Our playgroup spaces are intentionally calm and nurturing, with soft hues that offer rest to the senses. Toys made from natural materials invite open-ended play and rich imagination. Parents engage in simple craft, sharing quiet companionship while the children explore nearby.

Rain or shine, we venture outdoors — jumping in puddles, collecting treasures, and greeting the world in all its changing moods.

These gentle rhythms anchor us, nourish connection, and let childhood unfold as it’s meant to — slowly, simply, beautifully.
