Our weekly Stay & Play sessions provide opportunities for children aged under 5 to learn through play. With indoor and outdoor play areas, children can enjoy a different environment and equipment which might be less easy to set up at home – bikes, trikes and trolleys, a large sandpit, and messy activities. The session ends with a singing and rhyme circle.
It’s a great chance for them to socialise and play with other children, learn to share and take turns, and widen vocabulary through new experiences.
For parents and carers, Stay & Play is a chance to meet new people and gain support and friendship, gain new ideas for activities and play resources for children and access a range of information.
£3 per family – concessions available. Suitable for ages 0-5.
