What We Offer
Our Services
Countryside Adventures
A day spent exploring, sniffing, playing and discovering across ten acres of secure countryside, creating the perfect balance of adventure, enrichment and social connection.
Countryside Enrichment
More than just a walk. A dedicated 1.5-hour session engaging your dog’s mind and body through structured scent play and active exercise. Enjoy an off-lead, secure adventure in our private countryside fields, professionally supervised for their safety and enjoyment. We collect at 11:30 am and have them safely home by 2:00 pm — a curated experience your dog will genuinely look forward to.
Home Boarding
Overnight stays in a calm, secure home-from-home environment. Flexible weekday and weekend options with personalised care and attention.
VIP Transport
Convenient pick-up and drop-off service within a 15-mile radius, with dedicated routes across Cirencester and surrounding villages.
The Wellbeing Centre
Our wellness centre is designed around your dog’s total wellbeing — nurturing both mental and physical health. Book a spa day and treat your dog to cucumber water, gentle pampering and expert care, from grooming and massage to physiotherapy, all woven around a day of play, rest and exercise.
The Scent Club
Scent work taps into a dog’s most powerful sense, providing a natural outlet for exploration, problem-solving and discovery, bringing balance and harmony to their day. Our members experience track and trailing in Scent Club.
Our Philosophy
A Considered Canine Lifestyle
We believe dogs deserve more than simply being watched over. They deserve space to explore, freedom to move, meaningful social connections and a daily environment designed around their emotional, physical and social wellbeing. That belief shapes everything we do.
Set within ten secure acres of Cotswold countryside. Fewer dogs. Exceptional standards of care. Vast outdoor freedom. A calm, enriching environment where every dog is known, understood and valued as an individual.
This is not traditional daycare. It is a considered lifestyle choice, created for owners who expect exceptional standards and who believe their dogs deserve a life filled with adventure, enrichment, companionship and genuine care. Because for us, wellbeing is never an add-on. It is the foundation of everything we do.

We have been so impressed with Doggy Playschool. You and Emma and all the staff have been wonderful. Thank you very much for everything.
Maple's Mum
Playschool has been amazing for Monty and the progress he has made since he first started and has then been attending almost weekly since. He really has loved his time at Playschool and that in no small part is down to everyone's patience and input with him. His confidence has really grown as has his socialisation skills. We want to thank everyone for this.
Monti's Mum
The staff are fantastic with the dogs, and we are always totally confident that our boys are going to be well cared for and have lots of fun. We feel so lucky to have such a brilliant doggy daycare facility so close to us!
Harry's Mum
Emma and her team clearly want to put all the dogs first! Emma's knowledge and caring approach, coupled with the excellent design of the facilities have improved so many dogs' lives, just by looking at them. Glad I have found Emma and her team. My dogs are always delighted to visit The Doggy Playschool Company.

Monti absolutely loves his days at Playschool, runs to Owen and the bus and comes home washed off, relaxed and ready to sleep. No guilt or bored dogs in this house!

Banksy and his humans would like to say a massive thank you to Emma and her team for the amazing members event held today. If you want your fur baby looked after by a skilled, kind and absolutely doggy focused team this is the place for you. From the gorgeous reception area, the large thought out specialist sniff areas to chill out zones in front of doggy TV. This is pawfect, really highly recommended.

Getting Started
How to Join
Joining The Doggy Playschool is a considered, gentle process — designed around your dog's comfort and wellbeing every step of the way.
Why Owners Choose Us
A Standard Worth Joining
Book a Meet & Greet
We start with a friendly meeting to understand your dog's individual needs, routine and the level of care you're looking for.
Induction Morning
Your dog joins us for a gentle induction session to observe their behaviour in a pack environment. We take small steps to ensure they're never overwhelmed and never feel anxious — building confidence at their own pace.
Transport & Home Visit
If we're collecting your dog, a parent needs to be at home on our first visit. This keeps stress to a minimum and lets us understand your dog's evening routine — where they sleep, water access, food requirements, and which rooms are allowed.
Security First
Every dog is led from the house on a lead. The lead stays on until they are safely secured in their vehicle crate. Collars come off, they relax, and they're ready for a wonderful day at Playschool.
The Psychology
How We Assess Each Dog
Every member is individually assessed against a considered tick-list of behaviours, so the pack stays balanced and your dog genuinely thrives.
