Frequently Asked Questions

What is risky play?

Risky Play is important to a child's development, it allows the child to challenge themselves, test limits, overcome fear and explore boundaries. Risky play can involve climbing, jumping, balancing, sliding, swinging, sliding and other forms of play. Our team of staff will ensure that your child has the opportunity to access risky play under safe supervision.

What is open access supervised play?

Open Access refers to children being able to freely attend the playschemes and to leave when they want. Our staff will encourage children to stay on site, but we also encourage parents/guardians to discuss their expectations with the child before attending. It is for you to make the judgement that your child will follow your requests.

Supervised Play refers to the responsibility of the staff. They are there in a supervisory capacity to ensure children have a safe environment to play.  Staff are advised as part of their training to allow children the right to play without adult intervention but to join in if invited to do so.

Do I have to leave my child?

No, you are more than welcome to stay around on site with your child, bring a picnic and enjoy socialising with others. 

Where and what times are the Playschemes running?

We have morning and afternoon sessions across Flintshire, please refer to our list for times and site list.  

Please also ensure that your pre-register your child online for each site. You can register them for multiple sites if you wish for them to attend more than one.

My child is not 5 yet?

Unfortunately we are only allowed to Supervise children from the age of 5 years and up, but you are more than welcome to stay with them on site.
