The Toy Library operates with a flexible approach to the need in the community at excellent value.

We support children’s development through the extension of play opportunities; provide a place for parents and carers to meet; offer support for parenting and parental involvement in play; and act as a hub for the community, providing opportunities for volunteering and participation in the broader Dracaena Centre ‘Offer’ within its key strands of Education & Training, Health & Well-being, Sport & Leisure and Community Support.

The ‘Stay & Play’ element of the Toy Library has the clear aims of encouraging children to interact with other children, for parents and carers to meet and socialise, to support families to feel part of the community and to provide access to other agencies within the Centre who can further support families in a wide range of ways.
