Stay and play sessions

Our Stay and Play sessions - Make and Take, Wrigglers and Jigglers, Play, Talk and Sing, and Play and Learn with your Baby - are 1 1/2 hour indoor and outdoor play sessions designed to give children the opportunity to:

• play and learn in a safe and stimulating environment.
• meet and play with other children.
• get ready to start nursery school.

Stay and Play allows parents and carers to:

• introduce different play and learning environments to their children - and by so doing, enhance their child(ren)’s development.
• meet other local parents and carers, and share experiences.

A typical Stay and Play session is structured as follows*:

• 09:30 am - outdoor and indoor free play
• 10.10 am - focussed activities
• 10.25 am - tidy up
• 10.30 am - wash hands and snack
• 10.40 am - songs
• 11.00 am - home time

*please note that timing and structure are open to change.
It’s important to come early to each session as this will give your child(ren) enough time to play make good use of the play facilities, and be ready to sit down and enjoy snack and story/song time.
