We offer competitive prices and personalised expert service. Our regular customers include parents, early childhood centres, playgroups, schools and others.

The Playcentre Shop in Christchurch has operated in some form for nearly sixty years and is part of the national Playcentre network (visit www.playcentre.org.nz). You can rely on our depth of knowledge and experience! We aim to support you to provide safe and challenging play environments where children can explore, experiment and imagine.

Our Online store is new and we are still loading photos and details of our products. We would really appreciate hearing how you find using the online store, so please email us with your comments.
