The Play Village in Ashbourne is now offering dedicated 2-hour school sessions, providing an exciting opportunity for children to learn, grow, and explore through imaginative play. Tailored for nursery, reception, and early primary years, these sessions are designed to enrich the school curriculum in a fun, engaging environment.

At the heart of the Play Village is a child-sized world filled with role-play areas like a mini supermarket, hospital, construction zone, vet clinic, and more. These immersive settings support key educational outcomes, including:

• Social and emotional development: Children learn to collaborate, negotiate, and express themselves as they interact with peers.

• Language and communication: Role-playing encourages vocabulary expansion, storytelling, and conversational skills.

• Understanding the world: Real-life scenarios introduce children to various professions and community roles.

• Numeracy and literacy: Activities like shopping or taking appointments integrate counting, reading, and writing in natural, meaningful ways.

Teachers can link sessions to classroom topics or simply allow children to explore freely, knowing every moment contributes to their cognitive and creative growth.
