Infants

Our youngest division, for children aged 4 to 7 — smaller groups, a gentler pace, and volunteers who know this may be a child's first time away from home.

Infants is where playscheme begins. Children aged 4 to 7 get the full playscheme day — activities, entertainment and trips out — shaped around little legs and shorter attention spans.

How Infants works

Infants have their own area of the site, away from the older divisions, and their own team of volunteers. Children are placed into small groups in their sections — Wolves, Sharks, Tigers, Monkeys, Bears and Eagles — and stay with the same group and the same volunteers all week, so familiar faces are never far away.

A gentler day

The day runs 9.30am to 3.30pm like the rest of the scheme, but with more time to settle, more quiet corners and old favourites that come back every year.

Little trips out

Infants take shorter, softer trips than the older divisions — the kind of days out made for this age group.
