Play service

The Play service provides Camden's children with opportunities to play and enjoy their leisure time and to learn and develop in fun, friendly, safe and caring environments. We also help parents to work and study by offering and developing affordable childcare.

We provide after school clubs, breakfast clubs, holiday playschemes and community-based activity programmes for children and young people aged between four and thirteen years old.

As well as projects based in local communities and schools, we run specialist services for vulnerable children, young people and their families with varying needs.
