Parents of children with complex medical needs can now use a new toy loan service.

Haven House Children’s has extended its free service to Enfield to increase the number of people it supports in north London.

Toy Home Loan provides parents access to specialist toys for up to three months. Many of the toys are designed to produce a sensory response, and all items are gender neutral.

The service, which also operates in Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest and Haringey, was used by 115 children last year.

Fiona Martin, Toy Home Loan coordinator for Enfield, said: “It means greater choice for parents and more opportunities for children to play and develop with specialist toys catering for their individual needs.

“Our toy library is vast. We also have a selection of toys designed to relieve stress and support the development of focus, attention, and active listening.”
