The Child Carers’ Toy Store was established on the 1st May 2002, and continues to grow steadily with those taking up membership.
The Child Carers’ Toy Store is available for parents, carers, families, grandparents, professionals and services across the City. Its aim is to loan good quality, educational toys and resources to ensure children are able to develop their learning through play.
Membership costs range from £20 for a family membership to £450 for a large play scheme.
Members are able to borrow from 5 to 20 toys depending on the type of membership (playschemes may borrow much more) for a 6 week period, although many families and childminders visit us each week with their children encouraging them to make choices about the toys they would like to play with.
Gift Vouchers are now available for you to purchase as a gift for a family member or friend. The vouchers start from £20 for a year's membership to the Child Carers Toy Store and the recipient will have access to over 10,000 toys and equipment to use at home or in a childcare setting. If you would like to take up this offer, please contact Alison on 02392 832926.
