Out of School Club Closures - December 2020

We hope you and your families are keeping well and healthy during these unprecedented times.  

We are writing to inform you that unfortunately, our Out of School Clubs will have to temporarily close after the Christmas Holidays and will reopen after the Easter Holiday 2021.

While schools and childcare can remain open, many parents are furloughed or working from home, and therefore the demand for our services remains low. The cumulative effect of low numbers of children, cancellations due to self-isolation, and the relatively high number of staff needed to care for children in different bubbles, means that the club will not remain sustainable. We know that many of you will be disappointed by our decision as we are conscious of how much parents rely on our childcare services; however, we have had to make this decision to safeguard the future of PLAYtarium, and the jobs of our staff. This virus has affected all of us in ways we couldn’t have imagined, but we’re confident we’ll get through it together.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused. We hope to return our services as soon as possible, subject to Government and school requirements.
