This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately.
One of the questions I've been asked most over the years is, about my playgroup fees.
Honestly, I think it's a really fair question.
I can only speak from my own experience, but behind Billy Buttons is one woman, one family and one little dream that has slowly grown into the community it is today.
Many people don't see the hundreds of quiet hours that happen before a playgroup morning arrives. The stories written and practised. The seasonal planning. The craft remade until little hands can genuinely enjoy it. The bread baked, the flowers gathered, the late-night emails, the insurance, bill, washing, the learning, the dreaming and all of the invisible jobs that somehow become one beautiful morning together.
Billy Buttons has never received funding or the support of a larger organisation. Every season we've shared together has been made possible because families have chosen to invest in this little community, and I don't think I'll ever stop feeling grateful for that.
When a family books a term with us, I don't think they're simply paying for a playgroup.
I think they're investing in childhood. For the cost of a cuppa and cake date.
And in return they are receiving community. Connection. And a place where children are deeply known and mothers are warmly held.
And perhaps, just as importantly, they're choosing to support a family and a small business that believes these kinds of spaces are worth creating.
Our communities need places like this. And they need the people brave enough to keep creating them.
Our circle has spaces available this term, link in bio ✨️
