I remember as a child spending so much of my time outdoors after School but in todays world we need to be able to do this in a safe environment and the Playbus allows this.  Outdoor play is so important for children, it helps them to master physical skills as well as refining their motor skills.  The Playbus allows social interaction which is so important for their learning especially around social customs such as sharing, co-operating and turn taking.  Playing outside is great for children's immune systems as well as keeping them fit and healthy by being active instead of sitting indoors playing computer games.  After winning a National Playwork award earlier this year I can't believe that B&H Council are even considering stopping this valuable service.  We will certainly miss this service and the amazing bunch of people that work super hard to create different activities each week/day for the children.
