We provide Early Years, nursery, crèche and after school projects that are regulated by Ofsted.
Each of our settings has an experienced management team who create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for your child. We want to offer a flexible response and you may register your child for the days and hours that suit you.
Our After School clubs promote learning and fun for children between the end of the school day and 6.00pm; offering parents full day care and increased learning and social opportunities for the children. We offer a pick-up service and work with schools that offer late curriculum activities, for example after school sports or dance groups.
Play Place always work in partnership with parents, local agencies, schools, community and church groups. We have an open door approach and want our groups to be a place for the whole family to feel welcomed and where everyone counts.
We believe that strong partnerships evolve when there is good communications between parents, keyworkers and the staff team.
Our consistent staff work with children to respond to their individual needs. Each of our settings are individual and have unique qualities, however they all have the same core values:
- The children are at the heart of everything we do 'Everyone Counts'
- All our staff are well trained, experienced and very enthusiastic
- All aspects of the Play Place curriculum are delivered to Ofsted standards
- Our fees represent very good value for money
- We have lots and lots of fun.
