Play Schemes

We run holiday play schemes throughout all the school holidays, with the exception of one week at Christmas. These play schemes are available for all children aged between 1 years and 13 years. 
Play schemes are classed as 'play work' and the leader's role is to encourage children to play in different ways/groups etc. 

The play scheme staff ratio is 1:3 for 1 years, 1:4 for children under 3 years and 1:6 for children over 3 years.

Important aspects of play schemes include:

  • Providing a wide range of play opportunities for children
  • Ensuring a safe environment
  • Promoting fair and caring behaviour
  • Encouraging choice and self confidence
  • Involving young people in planning the play at the setting
