Playschemes

Playschemes are informal provision ran by staff and/or volunteers during the school holidays. Playschemes are usually on for a couple of hours per day. At playschemes children are able to play with their friends and join in with fun activities.

MAP’s award winning playschemes

MAP runs playschemes during the Easter and summer holidays, providing opportunity for children to play freely (making up their own games). Children are provided with lots of exciting materials to use such as sand and water, den making materials, dressing up clothes, sports equipment and all sorts of junk modelling and arts and crafts. The playschemes are designed to support children to be creative, imaginative and active. Have a look at some of the photos down the side of this page or in our photo gallery.

Children gave MAP summer playschemes a big thumbs up. Comments included ‘I just love playscheme and making new friends’, ‘Thanks for putting on playscheme, its good fun’ and ‘Playscheme was amazing’. MAP recently received an international award (Right to Play Award, from the International Play Association) and a Commendation from the Nancy Ovens Trust, for its work on free play, including the playschemes.

In 2011, MAP ran summer playschemes in Loanhead, Mayfield, Roslin and Dalkeith
