Welcome

We have used Play Academy for a number of years now and we would thoroughly recommend the provision to parents actively seeking before and after-school provision. The setting offers a welcoming and supportive environment and both our children have been really happy spending time there during their primary school years. The staff at Play Academy are approachable, friendly and personable, creating positive relationships with the children in their care. They offer a range of diverse and fun activities, often based on a different theme each week, both in and outdoors. Pastorally, I feel our children have been supported and their individual needs are always recognised and met. Play Academy has a vibrant, positive atmosphere and I would not hesitate to suggest the wrap-around care to others.
Thanks,

Thanks to everyone for taking such great care of our son over the last few years and all the effort you put into the activities. I shall miss all the fab creations being brought home. End of a 10 year era of kids at Play Academy!
Thanks again

I am so grateful to be able to send my girls to a place such as Play Academy. They absolutely love everything about it, as do I. Knowing that my children are so happy and well looked after helps to ease the burdens of parental life. From the different themed weeks, filled with fun and exciting carefully thought-out activities, to the staff, who are so supportive and caring to all the children, everything is done with masses of care and attention.

Staff go above and beyond on a daily basis to ensure that all children in their care are happy and safe. Every morning, the children are greeted with big smiles and warm welcomes, as are the grown ups at home time in the evening. It is the small things that make the big differences; soup for teatime snack because the weather took a turn for the cold that day, having torches for outside play on dark winter evenings, frequent photos to see what the children have been up to, all help to show the love and care that is given.

The attention to detail that Karen and her team put into all areas of Play Academy make it such a fantastic and fun environment for all who attend.

Our daughter has been going to Play Academy for almost 2 years and she absolutely loves every second of it! We love that she gets to start the day with a warm welcome from the lovely team, a delicious breakfast, and even time for a play or crafty activity. After school there is an array of activities, both indoor and outdoor, and great snacks which our daughter loves helping herself to. The thought and attention to detail which goes into planning the activities each week is incredible, and each week we are brought home wonderful drawings, models, beads, baking, crafts, the list goes on! I am always recommending Play Academy to other parents as it has far surpassed all our expectations and made our wraparound care experience an amazing one! We can’t thank Karen and the team enough for all the love, effort and enthusiasm they bring each day when looking after the children.
