Why Choose Us?
Our Vision
An environment where children grow through play, think independently, and embrace activity for life.
Our Mission
To create unique experiences that exceed expectations and inspire learning, creativity, and a love for movement.
We Live By Our Values
Safety is our number one core value at School of Play, standing at the very top of our hierarchy of values.
We prioritise creating a secure and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
For example, if a team member sees a child in danger, this takes priority over our other values.
Our rigorous safety protocols and well-trained team ensure that every child’s well-being is safeguarded, giving parents peace of mind and allowing them to focus on their day.
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. By fostering strong partnerships with parents, schools, and communities, we create a supportive network that benefits every child.
Our team works hand-in-hand to provide comprehensive care and engaging activities, ensuring each child receives the attention and support they need to succeed.
Passion drives everything we do. Our dedicated team brings enthusiasm and commitment to every aspect of our service, from sports and wraparound care to holiday camps.
We believe that when passion fuels our work, it translates into memorable experiences for children, helping them grow and flourish in a fun, dynamic environment.
Innovation is key to our success. We embrace creative thinking to develop unique programmes that captivate and inspire children.
By continually evolving and incorporating new ideas, we ensure our services remain fresh and exciting, sparking curiosity and imagination in every child we care for.
Active Bodies. Creative Minds
At School of Play, we believe in balancing physical activity with creative exploration. We know that an active body fuels a creative mind, which is why our programmes are designed to nurture both.
Through engaging sports, playful challenges, and imaginative projects, we help children build confidence, develop key life skills, and unlock their full potential.
From energetic games that strengthen coordination and teamwork to artistic activities that inspire self-expression, every experience at School of Play helps shape well-rounded, happy, and resilient children—ready to thrive in every part of life.
Memories To Last A Lifetime
Childhood is a collection of moments that build who we become. The laughter, the triumphs, the first-time experiences—they’re the snapshots that fill a child’s mind with joy and confidence.
At School of Play, we’re passionate about creating those special moments. Whether it’s discovering a hidden talent on the playground or bringing an imaginative idea to life through art, we help children create positive, lasting memories that will inspire their choices, relationships, and dreams for years to come.
Keeping Kids Moving
We believe that active kids are happy kids. Our days are packed with energy-boosting activities that encourage movement, coordination, and a love for staying active.
From fun games to structured sports, we create an environment where children are always on the go, building stronger bodies, sharper minds, and healthier habits.
Whether it’s racing around the playground, taking part in team challenges, or learning new skills, we make sure every child has the opportunity to move, play, and grow every single day.

Going Beyond Compliance
While regulations require us to have at least one paediatric first aid-trained team member at each of our settings, we go further. At School of Play, every single team member is paediatric first aid trained—no exceptions.
The standard renewal period is every three years, but we don’t wait that long. We ensure our team refreshes their training every two years to keep their skills sharp and up to date.
For new team members who haven’t completed a course in the past two years, we require them to complete a 12-hour paediatric first aid course within their first three months of employment.
Healthy Lifestyle
We believe fuelling children with the right nutrition will keep them bursting with energy throughout the day. At our wraparound provision we offer nutritious snacks that the children will love alongside encouraging sports and outdoor play. Keeping active is just as important as the food we fuel our body with, so engaging the children in exciting physical activity is key.
