Welcome to The Play Doctors!
We are a family run company supporting the inclusion of all children.
News! We are pleased to announce that we have chosen as finalists in the Federation of Small Business Awards 2012 |
We work to a person centered approach, hearing children's and young people's voices is important to us. We asked them what they felt play was and recorded the following comments:Play is what I do when my Mum's not looking! 8 year old boy Play is something that has to be exciting, adventurous that gets your adrenaline pumping and heart racing! 18 year old girl I use my free time to hang out with my friends and go fishing!14 year old boy |

Consultancy, presentations and disability access audits
Children were asked during an evaluation of a play ranger service to draw what they liked doing. 'Getting muddy' was a favourite activity followed by 'Splashing in Puddles'!
About us This is what we do, but take a look and see who we are.....
Play can be fun and exciting, or quiet and reflective. Play should be what the child wants it to be, where they can make their own choices and undertake activities that reflect their own wishes and desires. Too often the adult world interferes in what a child wants to do!
A young person recently told us:
Impairment is what we have - disability is what we experience!
We want to see every child feel that they are included -
having the opportunity to play and participate so that they do not feel left out!
We have just come back from the
TES Resource Show North.

NASEN Live Event in Bolton
