Nursery Play Centres are places where pre-school children, on two or three mornings: or afternoons a week, can join with other children of their own age in using equipment designed to make them think constructively as well as to use and develop physical skills. Trained supervisors run the centres, assisted by mothers who bring the children and then take turns in staying to help.
