Hampton Children’s Playhouse is a membership based centre built around the notions of community and open ended play.
Situated off the bustling main street of Hampton, members can grab a takeaway coffee at one of the many cafes or pick up supplies from the supermarket across the road before making their way to the playhouse.
Located in a repurposed house, the playhouse offers the comforts of home but with more toys… lots and LOTS of toys. There are rooms for imaginary and constructive play as well as a beautiful light filled space tailored specifically to babies. Here you will also find a small library for those wishing to take a little time out.
Towards the back yard there is a fully functional kitchen for the grown ups and a craft space for those creative little hands. There is also a gated art space outside on the deck, complete with paints and easels for those who enjoy a little messy play.
The outside space itself is nicely contained with beautiful murals on the walls and several play structures for the kids to play on. There is also a generous sandpit decked out with spades, buckets and toys. A seperate, gated swing space and shed full of ride on toys round out the space that Mamma’s kids could not get enough of.
Completely run by volunteers, Hampton Children’s Playhouse runs monthly events and a weekly playgroup (which is also open to non members for a fee). With options to join for a term or a full year, the playhouse is a wonderful choice for families of young kids who want to play and connect with others in a safe and enriching environment.
