The Adventure Playground at Marble Hill Playcentres is completely unique in this borough. With its huge wooden structures and large open spaces, they provide a special place for thousands of children each year. Children learn fantastic life lessons by testing their limits, discovering how things work and what they really enjoy to do. Adults are not permitted in the AP, giving the children freedom to make their own choices, and the opportunity to play and form new friendships with others outside of their usual peer group. They have a team of playworkers to supervise the children, facilitate play, and organise daily activities. If you have a child with additional needs who requires adult 1-1 support please complete the “All About Me” form (check link below) with your child, and call/message on 07522 182524 or email ap@marblehillplaycentres.com so they can help identify the right support for your child.
All children must be booked in prior to the session.

It takes place in church on Monday mornings during term time from 10am – 12 noon. The group provides a fun morning for the children and a chance for the adults to chat with friends old and new in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There is a large regular clientele, some occasional visitors and new people are always welcome. About twenty five children usually attend per week with a maximum of thirty families being accommodated. As there is a limit to the number of people come early to avoid disappointment. The cost is £3 each week for the first child, £1 for any others. Any surplus money is donated to one of St James’s charities.
There are two separate play areas, for babies and toddlers, with lots of toys and equipment, much of it donated. There is an art and craft table and Coryn goes in twice a term to do a flower-based activity. Later in the morning the children can take part in singing and action rhymes and listen to a story. Refreshments for both adults and children are available at no extra cost throughout the morning with Fairtrade goods being used. There is access to the toilets in the west porch. There is always a fun filled Christmas Party and a picnic in Bushy Park on the last session before the summer holidays.
