Playtime Sessions

Find out what happens at our playtime sessions, when they run, and why play matters for children under five and their families.

What is playtime?

At Community Playlink, ‘playtime’ refers to our weekly sessions for children under five years old with their family, held at the Swaythling Neighbourhood Centre.

Each session involves:

  • Art and craft activities
  • A range of different toys to play with
  • Singing time with nursery rhymes
  • Group games with a parachute
  • A story

When is playtime?

Currently, our playtime sessions are Tuesday & Wednesday, 10:15 - 11:45am.

We’re hoping to eventually hold more sessions across the city as we receive more donations and grants. You can help by donating.

Why is play important?

Read our article about the importance of play, and once you’re convinced, come along to our next playtime session.
