The playscheme at Twerton is fully inclusive and positively welcomes all children especially disabled children. The playscheme has been running in a variety of locations since 1989 and moved to it's present venue in 1996. Until 2005 the playscheme ran specifically for disabled children with a community playscheme running alongside.
The playscheme is closed access which means parents and carers have to book in advance by completing a Registration Form and a Booking Form. These are available to download... All forms must be printed out, completed, signed and returned to the BAPP office at Odd Down Community Centre, Odins Road, Odd Down, Bath, BA2 2TL
|
All playschemes are staffed by qualified and experienced playworkers including Threeways staff who are all CRB Checked. Playschemes will provide disabled and non-disabled children with the chance to have a FUN summer; making a mess, being active, using up energy, enjoying tactile and sensory stimulation, playing games as well as being around their friends and making new friends.
You must book places in advance by completing a Booking Form and if you haven’t used BAPP before, you will also need to fill in a Registration Form.
If your child or children need to have medication administered whilst they are at playscheme, you will also need to complete a Medication Consent Form and agree to any medical protocols.
You can book days at one or both of the playschemes. Please note that because there is an upper age limit at the Hut, children 13 years and over will get priority at the Threeways playscheme. Children requiring use of hoists for movement will also have priority at Threeways as this is NOT available at the Hut. Children will need to bring a packed lunch and drinks |

All of our playschemes will provide the opportunity for children to
go on trips away from the playscheme. These will be limited to a
certain number of children and consent forms given out. A child
cannot go on a trip unless they have a completed and signed Consent
Form from a parent or carer. Where children are off for the whole
day, a packed lunch and drink will also need to be provided.

Foxhill Community Centre is a multi-use centre operated by a Community Association. We have sole use of the venue whilst the playscheme is open.
The Centre consists of one main large hall with a kitchen, small office/storage space and toilets. Outside there is a tarmac area with small grass spaces, and some trees at the front and side of the building. At the rear of the centre is a large, public open space which is level and flat with trees and bushes. This is used by the playscheme for a variety of play and sporting activity.
The Playscheme also uses Rainbow Woods, a public woodland further into Combe Down for outdoor woodland play.
The playscheme is well used by an average of 30 to 40 children per session.
