What Parents Say
My son has been attending playcentre for the last 4 years and he thoroughly enjoys his time there. Sometimes he complains I pick him up too early! I think it's great he gets to know children in other classes. He feels very comfortable with the playcentre staff. The recent workshops with the fire brigade, police, circus troupe etc have been particularly enriching experiences for the children.
Mum of Child in Junior School
My son has been so happy at playcentre in his reception year & always skips out each evening. He enjoys the varied activities and I am sure it has helped him to broaden his friendship circle across other classes too. Very friendly and caring staff are always present.
Jenny Barnett, Parent
Our children happily attended play centre for many years. The staff at play centre are wonderful, thoughtful and caring and get to know the children well. We were very happy with all the brilliant activities especially crafts, cookie decorating and Christmas cards making. We would wholeheartedly recommend playcentre, our children were sad to leave.
Sara, Parent
We feel so lucky to have such an amazing after-school club at our school. Our children absolutely love playcentre and we know they’re so well cared for when they’re there. There’s a fantastic staff team, an impressive range of activities and communication is really strong.
Eleanor, Parent
Playcentre is like a home from home for my children. All three have attended since reception year and the biggest complaint is that we’ve arrived too early to pick them up. The staff are caring, friendly and approachable. The team assist with any last minute or logistical challenges and most importantly the children love being there. As for the holidays camps - apparently they are the best camp out there - my 7 year old recently said - ‘all my friends are there and I know the staff so I don’t get shy and just have fun!
