Guildford Borough Council (GBC) offers Free Playranger sessions to its residents. GBC describes them as “an exciting project which encourages children to play freely outdoors”. There will be activities such as cooking on the fire pit, nature crafts, den building, games, and more! The free sessions will be held after school from 3:30 pm until 5:30 pm on specific dates. The nearest PlayRanger location to Ash is Coronation Gardens, GU12 5DN. Please note that pre-registration is required.
The next sessions for Ash are on the 7th & 28th of February 2023.
The Playrangers staff are all qualified and experienced playworkers who run play sessions based on using the natural environment as well as child-led play. The Playranger sessions run during term time, with full dates and information published on their GBC website.
They are a great way for children and young people to get outside, be active and make new friends. Sessions are aimed at 8 to 12-year-olds, however, under 8s are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
