Exciting news for our school and early years visits!

We have brand new 5 week programmes for schools and early years settings which focuses on key areas of learning:

- Communication and Language
- Problem Solving
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Writing for a Purpose

In these sessions, we set up our role play village for the children to learn through play with the focus being on developing a specific area of learning as well as the benefits of our village being cross curricular too.

Each week we will build on what we have been learning the previous week so that by the end of the 5 week programme, the children have had a high quality learning experience purely through play.

Do send us a message if you would be interested in more information for your setting or your child's school. We can't wait to introduce these sessions!

Open Plan for Open Ended Learning Opportunities sits at the heart of our values.

Our innovative design gives parents peace of mind. The open plan and low-level activity means you can easily see your little ones at all times, no matter where he or she may play!
Also by having an open plan village, children can see everything that is available for them to explore which enables them to make connections between one play area and another creating a high quality play experience 🥰.

Let's introduce you to Simone who launched Pop Up Play Village in South Cornwall in March!

Hello, I am Simone. I studied Level 3 childcare at college. I have worked in several nurseries and some schools since leaving college. In 2010 I had my first child, in 2019 I left my job in a nursery to have my second child. During Covid, my eldest really blossomed from being home, then as he really didn’t want to go back to school, we changed our whole lifestyle to fit around home education. This lead me to child minding, which I do part of the week.

Now that my youngest is getting a little older, we were looking for groups for his age range and found a gap in the market, then this opportunity of the Pop Up Play Village presented itself.

As a family we are really excited to start this chapter in our life, linking together our childminding, Home educating and preschool communities plus welcoming back children I have had the pleasure of caring for in the past.

Take a look here to find out where Simone is popping up in the South Cornwall area soon: https://buff.ly/44Ryrz6

One of our core values is to inspire learning. Our franchisor Becky has written a blog all about how we do this here:

Pop Up Play Village has been created to excite children and give them the desire to learn in their own way and at their own pace. Using my knowledge as a teacher, this was how Pop Up Play Village was designed. When designing each play area, I looked at what resources were needed in order to maximise the learning opportunities for the children. Every resource in our village has a purpose and has been chosen to inspire and promote high quality learning through play.

I’ve found that the best way for children to learn is when they are in the driving seat. They can make their own decisions and make their own discoveries. Our village has been set up to promote this way of learning through open plan play areas and free flow play right from the very start of a session until the very end. As our village is open plan, children can make connections between one play area and another and move resources around the village as they wish. We often find that at the end of a play session, the village looks very different and that’s great as the children have owned their play and been inspired by the resources that they have had available to play with.

Our village is a very sociable place to play and this naturally inspires children’s learning. By observing others, playing alongside and with other children, children get ideas and learn from each other which in turn inspires and develops their learning further.

Our play areas are large and open plan which means adults can play in them too. We absolutely love seeing families all playing together and having fun! Children absolutely love to play with their special grown ups that bring them to our village. This naturally inspires their play and develops their learning so much.

I think it is so important that the environment is right for optimum high quality learning to take place. The environment needs to be a relaxing and stress free place to start with. By being open plan, we have created a wonderfully relaxed environment where grown ups can relax as they can see their children at all times and children can gain confidence to explore as they can also see their grown ups too. The environment also needs to wow children as they walk through the door. This then sparks their interest, their imaginations and ultimately inspires learning! We take great care in setting up our village for every session and one of the huge perks of running Pop Up Play Village sessions is when I get to see the look of excitement on the children’s faces when they walk in and see the village all ready for the play to begin. Truly amazing!
