Play Centres
The Royal Borough’s play service runs breakfast, after
school, and school holiday play centres in schools across
the borough for children between five to 13 years of age.
Children must book their places in advance and all registration
forms must be completed and signed by the parent or carer upon
registration. There are other private services that also
provide activities for children during out of school hours and
holiday periods.
For a list of before and after school clubs, and where they are
located, see Before and After School
Centres.
Play centres are staffed by a senior play worker, a deputy
play worker and a team of play workers. All staff are trained
through the 'Community Learning In-Service Training
Programme'. The play centres work in partnership with their
host schools and meetings take place regularly.
Each play centre has a children's committee that meets regularly
with play workers to discuss play centre
issues. Representatives on the children's committee are
selected by the children.
The play centre provides a varied programme of activities and
the Play and Youth Services support the integration of children
into mainstream provision where appropriate. The families and
children who have differing needs will receive support from the
Play Inclusion Officer, who will carry out assessments to ensure
that the child's needs are met when using play
services. One-to-one additional support can be made available
through Social Care Children with Disabilities Team.
