Buffy Playbus

Buffy Playbus Registered Charity No. 1180905 Buffy Playbus provides outreach support to children under 5 and their parents and carers. We offer 15 play sessions each week.

The communities we visit are based in Uttlesford, North West Essex. The area is mainly rural, sparsely populated, but only 1 hour from London. We are visited by 120 children each week plus parents and carers. 3,195 children stepped on board Buffy last year and additionally 300 children attended our summer holiday activities. Buffy is unique we have been established for 15 years, we are well respec

ted for our work in the community. Play activities on the bus enable children to develop as individuals and members of the community. Young children show increased engagement and this leads to higher attainment in education in the future. Children and adults have improved emotional health, well being and attitude, giving them higher levels of resiliance, confidence and self esteem. We aim to increase positive learning experiences for children and improve and develop parenting skills.

The tiniest customer visited us for the first time last week at just a few days old 😍

We are thrilled when there’s a baby to cuddle and are always on hand to help in any way we can!

One of our favourite things is seeing your little ones grow from tiny babies into larger than life toddlers and children and we are privileged to be part of the journey!
