Our Staff
Every Play in centre is run by a professional, highly-trained team. Each team member is qualified, experienced, and passionate, and we believe that they’re the best people to look after your children. We get to know each child in our care personally, and this is so we’re able to provide them with the tailored service that they deserve.
Only the Finest Staff
We only take on team members who are able to uphold our standards of excellence. When employing new staff we always ensure that they are properly vetted before they have contact with your child/ children. This begins with a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, and is followed up with professional development training. These things ensure that all team members are ready for the task in hand.

Working Effectively
We maintain child to leader ratios, which ensure safety and quality of care. For children under the age of eight the ratio is 8:1 and for those aged over eight-years-old the ratio is 10:1. These are in-line with child protection guidelines.
