Good quality, enjoyable and safe play for children requires planning. Children are consulted regarding activity choices with their thoughts and ideas being the forefront of our minds. With the support of qualified playworkers, they can become more confident in their abilities and have less trepidation than the day before.
The children have flexibility in the choice of activities they wish to participate in and have wide access to outdoor space. Outdoor space offers many opportunities for creative play and enhanced experiences that may be restricted indoors. Both indoor and outdoor activities incorporate the playwork curriculum and promote inclusion.
