About Us
A playcafe with a difference
At first glance, Juniors may appear like any other play centre, filled with laughter, excitement, and children having a great time. But what sets us apart is our commitment to Children’s Rights and providing a safe and inclusive space for families in need. We believe that every family deserves support and the opportunity to enjoy the simple joys of childhood, regardless of their circumstances.
One unique aspect of Juniors is our referral program through our 26 local partnered organisations such as social work, NHS, Woman’s Aid, Food Banks and many more. Families who are referred to us have the opportunity to use our services completely free of charge. We understand that financial constraints can often prevent families from accessing the support they need, and we want to remove any stigma or barriers associated with seeking help. By offering our services discreetly and confidentially, we aim to create an environment where all families feel comfortable and welcome.
