A summary
We have set up these additional play sessions at a smaller venue to compliment our larger Hastings Adventure Play ground Holiday and food ( HAF) sessions .From our bespoke playful bungalow and outside fenced play space we will provide a quality play setting offering a variety of play opportunities for younger children and for primary school children who may prefer a quieter, smaller setting . We will provide a range of resources to encourage children to extend and direct their own play to the fullest. The children have access to a setting full of different play opportunities including loose part play, arts and crafts, gardening, science activities, circus skills, den building, messy play, woodwork and fire play. Children will have the opportunity to help prepare their own lunch and playworkers are on hand to support and facilitate their play. The Bungalow and fenced garden space allows for free play inside and out, through out all sessions . Please ensure you wear appropriate clothing as our children are encouraged to play out in all weathers and lots of the play activities we provide may get messy!
