Keep Tooting Triangle stay and play open to all ages, staff-led, and free of charge
Wandsworth Council is proposing a series of cuts to stay and play at Tooting Triangle:
* Instead of being open to 0-5 year old children, it would only be open to 2-5 year olds.
* Instead of being led by qualified staff, there would be no staff.
* Instead of being free for all, it would be charged, with some concessions.
We call on Wandsworth Council to protect this excellent stay and play service.
Why is this important?
The stay and play is a vital service for parents, carers, children and the community. It has so many benefits:
* it is great for the children's development, their learning and emotional well-being;
* it is great for the parents and carers who get to meet other people and be signposted to other council services;
* it is great for social cohesion - the parents and children are from all walks of life; and
* it is great for our community, because a child who is given the opportunity to learn through play from an early age is much more likely to grow up to be a responsible member of the community.
