Toy Library

Click here to view the Toy Library Brochure.pdf

“A toy library is a place where parents or carers can go to borrow a large variety of educational toys, puzzles and games on a regular basis.

Toy libraries aim to support families and encourage them to spend time playing with their children.

Quality toys are expensive and children quickly become bored with a toy once its play value has been exhausted.

By providing new play materials every week or two, parents can save money and significantly contribute towards the development and education of their children.”
