Sara Younger, Hertsmere’s Cultural Services Officer, said: “We have tried to make booking onto our half term creative programme as easy as possible. We surveyed parents and found that many found it hard to get through on our telephone booking lines, because our schemes are so popular.
"We've introduced a reservation form to make our playschemes more accessible to all families.
