What is a Toy Library?

Toy Libraries operate along similar lines to public libraries. Members borrow toys for a fixed time period. Toy libraries cater mainly for pre-school children and generally have a limit on the number of toys that can be borrowed at each visit.

Who can use it?

It is open to all children who are under 5years who live in the East Acton area. You must be registered with the centre in order to join our toy library.

What does it offer?

A wide range of toys specially selected to help improve your child’s skills and also for enjoyment, stimulation and fun. It also allows children and families the freedom of playing with different toys and games and not have to pay for the privilege.
