Today is the International Day of Play!

At Network, we proudly support every child’s right to play. Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognises play as a fundamental right, and it continues to guide our organisation’s values and approach.

Every day, our OOSH children enjoy time, space, and freedom to play.

Play is more than fun, it’s essential for children’s healthy development. When children are deprived of opportunities to play, it can have a detrimental impact on their health, wellbeing, learning, and social development.

To celebrate the International Day of Play, we invite you to explore the resources available on our website that support and promote every child’s right to play.

Active Supervision Training: Tomorrow Wednesday 10th June, 10am 12 noon

If you work in OOSH, this is not one to miss.

Active supervision underpins everything we do, safety, engagement, and quality practice.

The regulator expects every educator to understand and confidently demonstrate their supervision responsibilities, and this training is a practical way to strengthen and evidence that knowledge in practice.

This session will provide clear, practical tools you can apply immediately in your service.

Limited places remaining:register now before it closes.
