Weekend Play Care Lead.
Peas is a warm, playful community space where children can explore, learn, and build connections. We create a safe and engaging environment for families, blending care with creativity. Whether it’s structured activities or open play, our team supports children with patience, enthusiasm, and joy - making weekends at Peas a place kids look forward to and parents trust.
Our weekend play care is designed to be short-term, play-based, and personal. We keep our groups intentionally small - no more than 4 children at a time, with sessions capped at 3 hours - so each child receives close attention, feels safe, and has space to play and grow.
