Hackney Playbus

Service details

Who are we? 

Hackney Playbus run free stay & play sessions for families with children aged 0-4, using a double-decker bus that has been turned into an early years play space, as well as an indoor baby group for families with babies under 12 months.  


What do we do? 

Playbus sessions provide fantastic opportunities for babies and young children to play in a rich learning environment, and a valuable opportunity for parents and carers to build parenting confidence and connect with others in their community. Their team of early years community workers build supportive relationships with parents, carers and children, and help link families to other support services. 


Outreach and referrals programme

Hackney Playbus focuses on engaging marginalised families, who may struggle to access mainstream services, and those with care and support needs.

Feel free to contact Anja, Outreach and Referrals Coordinator, if you have any questions.
