Meet the Team

The Playskill team is made up of many hardworking staff members and volunteers. Each group session has a group leader, a paediatric physiotherapist, speech and language therapist and an occupational therapist. Specialist family key workers and our group volunteers assist with the running of the group and help with refreshments.

Every child is given an assigned key worker for the term as well as bespoke targets to work on and achieve.

Normally, each session runs for two hours, with eight children and their families attending. During the sessions children will be welcomed with a song, and then move on to receive their therapy, snack time, messy play and finish with a visit to the soft play or sensory room, giving parents a much needed coffee break while their child is looked after.
