WOW! Plinstonkids holiday playscheme has been given the official thumbs-up.

Mum Anne-Marie Lose of Stevenage was so impressed with the scheme after sending her child to Plinstonkids - at the Plinston, Broadway, Letchworth GC - she successfully nominated it for a WOW award - part of the National Customer Service Awards.

She described the playscheme, as "absolutely fantastic, secure, friendly and professional".

Plinstonkids hosts discos, outings, cookery, theme days, arts and craft, sports and games.

Regulated by OFSTED, Plinstonkids usually runs at least a five-day programme during the week and also offers bookings where parents can drop their children off early on the way to work.

Stuart Kenny, director general of Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, which owns and manages Plinston, said: "This WOW award is a real testament to the hard work, dedication and innovation of the staff who run this special playscheme which has been around for over 20 years.
