Playgroup ejects mother: too old at 38

A mother has been asked to stop taking her toddler to the Christian playgroup they have been attending for the past 18 months because, at 38, she is considered too old.

Angela Hayes received a letter from the Young Women’s Christian Association, which runs the Cosytoes nursery in Llanelli, South Wales, saying they wanted to “refocus” their services on the under-30s. The association asked her not to bring her son Scott, 3, back to the playgroup, which meets three mornings a week, when term restarts in September.
