What is the Tilford Environmental Playscheme?
It’s a two-week play scheme which runs during the
summer school holidays. A non-profit initiative
organised by a committee of local mums, the
Playscheme is now in its 18th year. The Playscheme
aims to be a safe and fun experience for children with
high quality care. Visiting specialists, sports activities
and craft sessions make for a range of stimulating
days, which are often inspired by an environmental
theme.
