Merry Go Round Toy & Leisure Library

The latest Good Toy Guide can be viewed online at this link.

Merry Go Round will be closed for half term due to staff shortages, but if you borrow toys over this period you will get a free week! Carousel Toy Library will open as normal.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Three weeks for the price of one if you borrow toys over the Christmas closure. Book your toys now!

The last toy library sessions are on Thursday 18th December. Merry Go Round will reopen on Tuesday 6th January 1pm-4pm, Carousel reopens on Thursday 8th January 10am-1pm.

Wishing a Happy Christmas to all our members!

Thank you Grassroots Grants for supporting our toy library with a grant towards core costs. Other charities will also benefit, as Wales and West donated a matched amount for Grassroots to invest (see photos page). The income will be used to fund other groups now and indefinitely for generations to follow. What a great idea!

Many thanks to our team of volunteers for all their help – have a look on the photos page to see them and the children in action!
