Play today. Thrive tomorrow 🎈

It’s International Day of Play - a reminder that play isn’t just fun… it’s essential 💛

Play helps children:

✨ Build confidence and independence
✨ Develop language and communication skills
✨ Learn to share, take turns and make friends
✨ Explore, imagine and understand the world around them

The best part? You don’t need anything fancy. Everyday moments make a big difference:
Playing with toys 🧸
Sharing stories together 📚
Singing a silly song 🎶
Spending time outdoors 🌳

All these small, playful moments help your child grow, learn and be ready for school 💫 Looking for simple tips to support your child? Take a look at our website 👉 https://ow.ly/suy150Zas8p

September may feel a long way off, but now is a good time to be thinking about buying uniform to catch the great sales. Add these dates to your diary. If you are struggling to pay for uniform, check if your school do any "pre loved" sales, and look out on Facebook for local charities offering uniform sales.
