At Shirley Playcentre, we still believe that it takes a village to raise a child – and we would love to be your village!
We work together with you to find ways to support your child’s learning and find their place in our centre.
We fervently believe that a parent is the best first teacher a child can have, so we will help equip you to teach your child through play – the most fun way to learn.
Playcentre is a nationwide charity with 420 centres located throughout the country. At each centre you will find a supportive, fun and friendly environment for you and your child.
You don’t just watch your child grow. You grow with them.
Playcentre is founded on what is best for young children’s development: unlimited opportunities for self-directed, free play; responsive, respectful, loving relationships.
