Playschemes in Newport

Playschemes provide play opportunities run by play workers for children aged 5-12 years in a safe and stimulating environment.

If your child has specific requirements please discuss this with the play development team below.

Playschemes are child-led and give children the opportunity to control their play and challenge themselves to take emotional and physical risks in a safe environment.

Parents and carers should complete a registration form on the child’s first visit to playscheme which is renewed annually.

Open access

Newport City Council playschemes are open access and children can choose what they want to play and who they want to play with.

Children may arrive and leave the playscheme at any time during the published hours although parents are asked to instruct their child not to leave the site without telling a playworker.

Parents and carers must complete a consent form to allow their child to attend.

Children choose the activities they take part in which include sports, arts and crafts, den building, messy play and risky play.

Torfaen County Borough Council operates its Community Play Provisions on an open access basis. Open Access Play Opportunities empower children and young people to engage in a wide variety of play activities in a safe staffed environment. The purpose of the provision is to provide staffed play opportunities for children in the absence of their parents. Children have the freedom of choice as to what range of play activity they wish to undertake and with whom they play. If a child does not wish to stay at a provision we will contact the parents/carers to collect them.
