We have received recognition nationally and locally for the value of the services we offer to families throughout Charnwood. Grants have been received from The Big Lottery Awards for All fund and Charnwood Borough Council.
These will enable the toy library to deliver 12 months of its popular and stimulating Guided Play Sessions, and continue to lend toys, games and puzzles to families and childcare organisations.
The Guided Play Sessions were piloted at the beginning of the year and generated much interest and support among our members. Parents commented on how engaged the children were with the various activities, and how these helped develop language, social and motor skills. The sessions introduce the children to a range of topics that help them understand the world around them. Families can then borrow a range of toys to further explore the topic at home.
Since September we have developed the theme of pets including a pretend-play pet shop, vets sessions, crafts and dough modelling. After half term we will move on to an Autumn-Winter theme. Sessions run twice a week from 10-12am.
