Playschemes run during the February and October half-term holidays, at Easter and for four weeks of the school summer holidays.

They provide creative play opportunities run by play workers for children aged 5-12 years in a safe and stimulating environment.

Playschemes are child-led and give children the opportunity to control their play and challenge themselves to take emotional and physical risks in a safe environment.

Parents and carers should complete a consent form on the child's first visit to playscheme which is renewed annually.

If your child has specific requirements please discuss this with the play development team below.

There are several types of playscheme:

CIW ( Care Inspectorate Wales) - registered with CIW to provide play for children aged 5 to 12 years between 10am and 3pm.There is a maximum number of places which are allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Sessional - a maximum two hour session delivered in local communities for children aged 5 to 12 years

Outreach - a maximum two hour session delivered outdoors in open spaces in local communities in all weather conditions

Specialist playscheme - runs during the summer holidays for children aged 5 to 18 years who have complex care needs on referral by a teacher, GP, occupational therapist, social worker etc.

Children may arrive and leave the playscheme at any time during the published hours although parents are asked to instruct their child not to leave the site without telling a playworker.

Newport City Council does not accept any responsibility for the care, control and supervision of children travelling to the playscheme or play club, or after they have left the site.

Should any child wish to leave playscheme during the day, they are required to sign in and out and ensure they notify a playworker of their departure.

We have a dedicated team of Careers Advisers who work with young people who are home educated. We also have tools and resources you can use with your child.

Ways we support your child

Our professionally qualified advisers can help your child to explore options and careers ideas and offer support with choosing courses, training, and funding studies. Our services are free, impartial and confidential.

We can help with:

Motivation - helping your child prepare for change and address any potential barriers

Decision-making - supporting your child to make well-informed decisions

Self-awareness - developing your child's awareness of their interests, needs and abilities

Opportunity awareness - developing your child's knowledge of the labour market

Applications - helping your child to access opportunities and make applications

Resilience - support with managing setbacks and dealing with transitions

Your child may be ready to make the next step from home learning to college or employment. We have produced some guides to help you support them.

Email us if you would like us to send you the pdf guides and further information about how we can support you.

The guides we have include:

Contact us

You can contact us by email, phone or webchat to get more information or make an appointment for you and your child to see an adviser.

We also have a number of centres and outreach venues you can visit to meet with an adviser.

Time to Talk

Take time to talk with your child about their career ideas. This is an important part of exploring options and making choices. They are also a way to develop useful vocabulary and confidence.

You can have a positive impact on learning and career decisions when you talk with them regularly about their career ideas. Conversations give your child plenty of time to reflect on their ideas and preferences - and to change their mind. They make it easier to have meaningful conversations later on when your child does have to make a decision.

A new bilingual website, Safe & Sound Wales, has officially launched to support parents and carers across Wales to better understand, prevent, and respond to issues affecting children and young people.

Safe & Sound Wales has been co-designed with parents and carers, and shaped by insights from families across Wales. It provides clear, supportive information alongside practical tools to help parents feel more confident having conversations, recognising signs of harm, and knowing where to turn for help.

The platform helps parents who are worried about an immediate concern to learn more about the issue and get help, as well as supporting those who want to prevent problems, building awareness and resilience before issues occur.

In addition to advice and information, the website includes signposting to national and regional support services across Wales, helping families access the right help at the right time.
