Yvonne Johnson
I have been a Trustee of The Play Professionals for over 7 years and seen the organisation develop and grow into a fantastic childcare provision.
I was a working mum myself and knew how hard it was to find reliable and stimulating after school care, and so I am very pleased to be supporting such a great team.
I am an experienced accountant, working for many years with retail and wholesale companies and enjoy using the skills I have to advise the Board of Trustees.
When I am not busy with work I love to hop on my bike and head for the Surrey Hills.

It has been a great privilege to be a part of the tremendous journey The Play Professionals has been on over the last 7 years.

EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children enjoy their time in this exciting, welcoming setting. They come in happily, exchanging greetings with staff and other children. Staff take great care in getting to know the children. They also have robust procedures to exchange information with class teachers, meaning that they are fully aware of children's needs and interests. These procedures contribute to children feeling secure, settling quickly and building warm relationships with staff."
EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children are independent and confident, competently asking for help when needed. Children follow the very good example from genuinely kind and caring staff. For example, older children notice younger children new to the setting are unsettled and join them in their play, to support them. Children enjoy celebrating each other's similarities and differences as they greet each other in their home languages. This is because staff support children's uniqueness."
EY436011
The Play Professionals St. Leonard's
"Children build positive relationships with all staff members. Interactions between them are superb. Staff successfully encourage children’s speech by creating opportunities for them to share their ideas and stories with one another. Staff sit with children at every opportunity to engage them in conversation and in play"

A MESSAGE FROM THE PLAY PROFESSIONALS
The Play Professionals have just successfully completed our first half term providing after school care for the children and families of Cathedral School of St Saviours & St Mary Overy.
We have had great feedback and support from Parents and the school; not forgetting the children of course, which shows that our partnership with you is off to a great start.
We have a stable team of staff, Papiya, Eva and Wendy, who have built good relationships and deliver the quality service that we are known for. The Operations Coordinator and I have been frequent visitors and have met with the school, children and parents. We will continue to do so and look forward to meeting more of you.
In terms of booking places, we believe that our system offers an easy to manage process. We have online video tutorials and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
The phone line is for Superhero places and every message left is responded to in order of priority.
Our staff at site do not deal with bookings which allows their sole focus to be on the children, but we are always happy to hear feedback and look at ways of improving our systems and service accordingly. If you have any questions that can’t be answered via our website playp.org.uk, please contact info@playp.org.uk.
We look forward to our continued partnership with you all in the future.
Kind regards
James Jalloh Head of Service
Activity Plan 2024-25
- At The Play Professionals we always have a plan but we are happy to adapt as self-directed play stimulates imagination, and allows children to experience independence from an early age while in a safe, prepared environment.
- Collection time is from 17:10 to 18:00 during which time there is free play for all children, including an opportunity to do homework and socialise before going home. This also gives Parents and Carers an opportunity to receive feedback from the team.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PLAY PROFESSIONALS
The Play Professionals have just successfully completed our first half term providing after school care for the children and families of Cathedral School of St Saviours & St Mary Overy.
We have had great feedback and support from Parents and the school; not forgetting the children of course, which shows that our partnership with you is off to a great start.
We have a stable team of staff, Papiya, Eva and Wendy, who have built good relationships and deliver the quality service that we are known for. The Operations Coordinator and I have been frequent visitors and have met with the school, children and parents. We will continue to do so and look forward to meeting more of you.
In terms of booking places, we believe that our system offers an easy to manage process. We have online video tutorials and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
The phone line is for Superhero places and every message left is responded to in order of priority.
Our staff at site do not deal with bookings which allows their sole focus to be on the children, but we are always happy to hear feedback and look at ways of improving our systems and service accordingly. If you have any questions that can’t be answered via our website playp.org.uk, please contact info@playp.org.uk.
We look forward to our continued partnership with you all in the future.
Kind regards

I have been a Trustee of The Play Professionals for over 7 years and seen the organisation develop and grow into a fantastic childcare provision.
I was a working mum myself and knew how hard it was to find reliable and stimulating after school care, and so I am very pleased to be supporting such a great team.

It has been a great privilege to be a part of the tremendous journey The Play Professionals has been on over the last 7 years.
Having been educated in numerous schools in different parts of the UK and internationally, I appreciate how much children can gain socially from the activities The Play Professionals provides.
The commitment of the staff to providing the best for every child still amazes me.
Outside of work and being a trustee I enjoy travel (pre Covid) and spending time with my nine godchildren.

We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and to keep them safe. We are committed to practice in a way that protects them.
This policy is based on the law and guidance that seeks to protect children, including:
- Children’s Act 1989

We recognise that:
- The welfare of the child is paramount.
- All children, regardless of age, ability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have a right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse.
- Some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues.
- Working together with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting children and young people’s welfare.
What to do if you are worried about a child’s safety or welfare or about the behaviour of an adult:
You should follow the procedures below and report to your Centre Manager or Safeguarding Officer at the earliest opportunity.
If a child is in immediate danger, contact the police and ask for the Child Protection Unit, then contact the Safeguarding Officer at the earliest opportunity.
If a child is in need of urgent medical help, get medical help first then contact the Safeguarding Officer at the earliest opportunity.

Joanne
A Parent at The Play Professionals Woodmansterne

Ramavi, 4 year old
A Child at The Play Professionals Woodmansterne

Olivia, 4 year old
A Child at The Play Professionals Reay
"I like the sports at The Play Professionals, and also the cookery because I do a lot of the recipes at home"
EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children enjoy their time in this exciting, welcoming setting. They come in happily, exchanging greetings with staff and other children. Staff take great care in getting to know the children. They also have robust procedures to exchange information with class teachers, meaning that they are fully aware of children's needs and interests. These procedures contribute to children feeling secure, settling quickly and building warm relationships with staff."
EY 2652459
The Play Professionals Reay
"Children are independent and confident, competently asking for help when needed. Children follow the very good example from genuinely kind and caring staff. For example, older children notice younger children new to the setting are unsettled and join them in their play, to support them. Children enjoy celebrating each other's similarities and differences as they greet each other in their home languages. This is because staff support children's uniqueness."
EY436011
The Play Professionals St. Leonard's
"Children build positive relationships with all staff members. Interactions between them are superb. Staff successfully encourage children’s speech by creating opportunities for them to share their ideas and stories with one another. Staff sit with children at every opportunity to engage them in conversation and in play"

A MESSAGE FROM THE PLAY PROFESSIONALS
The Play Professionals have just successfully completed our first half term providing after school care for the children and families of Cathedral School of St Saviours & St Mary Overy.
We have had great feedback and support from Parents and the school; not forgetting the children of course, which shows that our partnership with you is off to a great start.
We have a stable team of staff, Papiya, Eva and Wendy, who have built good relationships and deliver the quality service that we are known for. The Operations Coordinator and I have been frequent visitors and have met with the school, children and parents. We will continue to do so and look forward to meeting more of you.
In terms of booking places, we believe that our system offers an easy to manage process. We have online video tutorials and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
The phone line is for Superhero places and every message left is responded to in order of priority.
Our staff at site do not deal with bookings which allows their sole focus to be on the children, but we are always happy to hear feedback and look at ways of improving our systems and service accordingly. If you have any questions that can’t be answered via our website playp.org.uk, please contact info@playp.org.uk.
We look forward to our continued partnership with you all in the future.
Kind regards
James Jalloh Head of Service
Activity Plan 2024-25
- At The Play Professionals we always have a plan but we are happy to adapt as self-directed play stimulates imagination, and allows children to experience independence from an early age while in a safe, prepared environment.
- Collection time is from 17:10 to 18:00 during which time there is free play for all children, including an opportunity to do homework and socialise before going home. This also gives Parents and Carers an opportunity to receive feedback from the team.
