| • | Evidence of consultation with parents, children and Contractors on the type of extended activities and play scheme provision they would prefer to be delivered from the service, in particular families of disabled children and input from the parent led forum (1 Hart 1 Mind 1 Future); |
| • | A toy loan service providing a 'try before you buy' scheme, avoiding unnecessary waste of money. It also provides families with a wide range of toys and equipment which can be swapped to avoid over-stimulation and boredom. |
