Summer Holiday Playscheme List 2014
The following is a list of open access playschemes that will be operating during the Summer holidays.
Open access schemes are generally free of charge, however some may ask for a small donation. Parents/Carers need to go with their child on the first day to complete a registration form, places can not be pre-booked and places are offered daily on a first come first served basis.
If your child has additional needs please discuss with the individual playscheme how they can best support your child.
If you need any further information regarding these playschemes, please telephone Ruth Denton on 0161 219 6709 or email
