Activities

All of the activities listed below are optional activities so if you see an activity that your child doesn’t enjoy, they won’t have to take part and instead, they can participate in something else that they do enjoy!

Because all of the activities are optional, this means your child can participate in an activity with a sibling and/or friend of a different age. The only exception to this will be Swimming where children aged 5 to 7, and children aged 8 – 12 will be grouped together.

To find out more on each activity, simply click one of the logos!

What Our Customers Say

I have been using Let's Play for many years now. They never let me down, always had space for my children even in the emergency situation. Children always go there with a big smile and they do enjoy every single minute. Having an access to the swimming lessons is a big advantage! Staff is always smiley and helpful. Well done guys, I am glad you are expanding as you are doing a great job

Joanna Kania

Let's Play has been brilliant for our family…convenient location, great hours and excellent value for money. It can be difficult to find somewhere that both my 11yr old daughter and my 9yr old son enjoy but this was it! We love Dan and his enthusiasm and have recommended Let's Play to all our friends. An added bonus is that Childcare Vouchers are accepted which is great for us working parents!

Victoria Evans

Let’s play were amazing with my two boys!! They are both neurodivergent and my eldest especially really struggles. They were understanding, patient and accommodating with them both. They took on board all their needs and were eager to understand how best to support them. My youngest adore the staff and can’t wait to go back in half term.
