International Play Day today 🧸🛝🪀

It's been so lovely to see so many parents during today's sessions getting down to their child's level, playing and interacting with them. Being present and engaged during play helps build strong emotional connections, develops communication skills, boosts confidence, and supports learning in a way that feels natural and fun. Some of the most important moments in a child's development happen through simple, shared play 🥰

⚽️ World Cup Ready at Stay & Play Today! ⚽️

We had a fantastic football-themed day session getting World Cup ready. The children enjoyed finger-painting football coasters, Playing mini football matches & Getting messy in giant football-shaped shaving foam.

There was lots of creativity, active play, sensory exploration and plenty of fun throughout 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥅⚽
