Play Schemes

This service is free but it is important to stress that it is open access which means that children can come and go as they please. The play centres also close at lunchtime.

Play schemes offer a range of arts and crafts, creative play, outdoor play and trips. Details of programs are distributed to children through infant and junior schools in Stevenage. If your child attends a playscheme they may sometimes be photographed for the purpose of publicising playscheme activities. If you do not wish your child to be photographed please inform the playleader.
