About PLAYtarium

PLAYtarium is a not-for-profit organisation that has been providing high-quality childcare for children aged 4-11 in Luton since 2000. Our mission is to ensure that your child enjoys a fun, safe, and stimulating environment while you’re busy, giving you complete peace of mind.


We operate three out-of-school clubs where your child can choose from a variety of sessions tailored to meet your childcare needs. Whether it’s messy play, adventurous activities, arts and crafts, or sports, we offer an exciting range of activities that keep your children engaged and entertained.


Originally starting with an open-access holiday club at Hillborough Junior School, PLAYtarium has since grown, now running out-of-school clubs at Sacred Heart Primary School, St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, and St. Martin’s De Porres Catholic Primary School & Nursery. We’re driven by a dedicated voluntary management committee and remain deeply committed to supporting the local community in Luton and surrounding areas.


With hundreds of happy children passing through our doors, we continue to create playful experiences where every child can explore, learn, and most importantly, have fun!
​

At PLAYtarium, children's happiness is our top priority!

We believe in the power of free play while offering a range of exciting activities and trips, giving children the freedom to choose how they want to spend their time. Our enthusiastic team is dedicated to creating a stimulating and fun environment where children can challenge themselves, relax, and enjoy play at their own pace.


Play is at the heart of everything we do because we know how crucial it is for a child’s development. Through play, children develop physically, build social skills, learn about the world around them, and gain confidence in managing risks. That’s why we champion the freedom to play – while we offer plenty of activities, we never force participation. Instead, we provide opportunities for children to try something new, explore their interests, and develop their skills in a way that feels right for them.


At PLAYtarium, your child is in control of their free time, enjoying it in a way that suits their personality and pace.

Meet Our Staff

​At PLAYtarium your children will be looked after by enthusiastic and experienced staff. Everyone employed receives an enhanced-DBS clearance and is reference-checked. We encourage our excellent staff to return for future seasons and many do, offering their valuable experience as well as a familiar face to returning children.

Each setting has a Manager who co-ordinate and manage their team whilst ensuring the smooth running and activities at their setting are fun and exciting. There will always be at least one qualified first-aider at each venue.

The Manager will be contactable throughout the session times if you need to change your pick-up plans or if you want to check that your child has settled in.
