Toy Library

Children learn through play, it’s nature’s way of making it fun! 

Toy-Library-Logo.png

Quality toys are expensive, and children quickly become bored with a toy once its play value has been exhausted. By providing new play materials every week or two, parents can save money and significantly contribute towards the development and education of their children.

How does it work?

Toy Library is similar to a book library. You pay a one off annual fee which entitles you to hire unlimited toys for a two week period, after which time you exchange them for new ones.

Additional information 

Borrowing time 

Two weeks maximum but can be returned earlier if you wish. Text us to renew your borrowing if you can't make it in to see us. 

Cleaning

For reasons of health and hygiene it is important that you clean toys before returning them. 

Fundraising

The toy library costs about $10,000 to run annually, excluding toys. Managed entirely by  volunteers, there is an expectation that members will help with fundraisers for Kids Hub and the Toy Library, to help keep our doors open and to enable us to buy new toys.
