Chestnuts playcentre
We provide a wide range of activities such as arts &
crafts, sports, games, imaginative play, reading, cookery and days
out.
Facilities available
Chestnuts consists of a large room and two smaller activity
areas; most of the activities take place in the main room but
children can enjoy smaller group sessions or just the social aspect
of the smaller areas. The main room features a pool and football
table with an area put aside for reading, homework and game
consoles. Energetic games and competitive style activities
are popular at this centre and children are encouraged to assist
others in learning new skills. The outside area is instrumental in
planning play sessions as the children often prefer to take their
play into the natural environment. Our rear space is fully enclosed
and offers challenging physical pursuits with:
- climbing frame
- tyre swing
- aerial runway
- playhouse
- 9 hole mini golf
- basketball
- and the ever popular race course
Staff at Chestnuts work closely with members of the community
and schools in the area; the active parents and friends group have
worked considerably hard to raise funds for much needed equipment,
subsidise trips and to provide a community garden that the children
enjoy taking responsibility in maintaining.
We are always looking for people with new skills and ideas to
bring to the playcentres so if you have some spare time and would
like to help us out please get in touch with your playcentre for
more information all help is much appreciated and it is a very
rewarding way to spend your spare time. We are here for your
children and we try to ensure that, wherever possible, the children
choose the activities they want to do; we want your children to
have fun and enjoy our playcentres.
