STONE SOUP GROUP

We're a group of parent volunteers in Walthamstow, London from diverse backgrounds on a mission to offer more affordable childcare and play opportunities, with creativity and collaboration at the core. We're passionate about bringing more joy, learning and a sense of belonging to communities through lifelong play.

Our goal is to set up creative, outside-the-box childcare and child education options - from stay & play sessions, to a drop-in crèche, pop-up community events, and maybe one day even a cooperative nursery, led by and for the community.

Our name is derived from an old folk story, where villagers contribute something into a pot of water and a stone and, collectively, make a delicious soup. We believe everyone has something to contribute.
