Play at Out of School Club
Play is a massively important part of any child’s life and, all too often in the modern world, there are an increasing number of factors which limit a child’s play opportunities. Our OOSC provides children with the opportunity to play in a safe and secure environment with designated indoor and outdoor play spaces for older and younger club members. Staff support and facilitate play, planning optional structured activities in which children can choose to take part. Alternatively, children are encouraged to explore toys and games for themselves which encourages independence and a sense of ownership.
