Meet the team
At Child's Play at Crwys, we are blessed with the most amazing team who genuinely love and care for all the children who join us. The majority of our staff are qualified up to the mandatory NVQ Level 3 in Childcare.
We believe that it is essential for staff to continue with their professional development as this ensures your children get the best care possible. Aside from qualifications, our team are happy, enthusiastic, caring, kind, bubbly, a little crazy (in a good way), and absolutely committed to ensuring your child gets the best care possible!

Services provided
Sociable lunch | 11:30am
Your little one can join us for a sociable lunch session before their afternoon playschool session begins. We like our lunchtime to be a social experience for your little ones, and we assist the children in laying out their lunch boxes on tables in social groupings.
We ask you to send your child in with a healthy, balanced lunch box. We will always put any uneaten food back into lunch boxes so you can monitor what is and isn’t popular.
Please remember that Child's Play is a nut free zone.
