About Us

A well-equipped, friendly and resourceful centre at the heart of Greater Leys.

The Dovecote Centre
A well‑equipped, welcoming and resourceful community hub in Greater Leys. It offers an ideal setting for family events, baby and toddler activities, children’s programmes, meetings and training sessions. Through our strong partnerships with local voluntary and statutory organisations — including Leys CDI, local primary schools, health visitors, churches, pre‑schools and Stay & Play groups — we can also support the promotion of your group or organisation across the wider estate.

Our Facilities
The Dovecote Centre offers two large, fully enclosed outdoor play areas, including a spacious wooden play structure designed for children aged 4–10 and a purpose‑built sensory garden. An adjoining open garden provides ample space for football, team games and outdoor activities. Inside, we have a dedicated sensory room available for one‑to‑one sessions, along with a fully equipped kitchen suitable for group use and event catering.
