Back in May we helped support Caudwell Children by taking part in Children’s Activity week and tomorrow we are heading to High Wycombe for a showcase of Children’s activity providers who all helped support this amazing charity.

We are so excited to meet everyone and represent the Pop Up Play Village brand.

Here’s our 10 reasons why we think our parties are stress free and perfect for young children:

- You don’t need to do any prep on the build up to the party, we will have the entertainment covered for the whole duration of the party.

- Each Pop Up Play Village party is unique as the birthday child and their family can pick out the play areas that they would like. This is such a special thing to do and it builds up excitement for the party.

- Our village is flexible to suit the space which means we can run big or small parties in a large or a smaller space, in a venue or even in your house. The choice is yours to make!

- On the day of the party, there is no setting up required when you book a party with us. We do all the setting up of the entertainment so that you can enjoy getting ready for the party with your little one.

- On arrival at a Pop Up Play Village party, we find that the children settle quickly into enjoying the party. Sometimes parties can be daunting for little ones but we find that because our village is child led exploratory play, they get stuck in playing straight away.

- Our parties are brilliant for mixed ages which is great as there are often a variety of ages attending a party and it enables all children to have a great time together.

- We often get complimented by guests that our parties are calm and relaxed which tends to mean the children are happy and engrossed in their play. Our village is fun, engaging and can entertain children for hours as the children let their imaginations run wild.

- At our parties, it is not just about the children, we want the adults attending to have a great time too. Whilst the children are engrossed in their play, adults can enjoy the occasion and socialise with friends and family.

- At the end of a party, the little ones are usually tired and the last thing you want to do is to spend ages tidying up. Our village is mess free and we tidy and pack it all up.

- We also provide you with the invites for your guests, and a gift for the birthday child.

What’s not to love! Get in touch if you’re organising a party to see if we can help.

Our village is open plan to enable open ended learning opportunities.

By being open plan, we can create large role play areas not just for the children but for the whole family and friends to share. Our play areas are very sociable places to play as there is space for so many people to play in them and we have multiple of the same play resources too.

As well as this, 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 and they can see you. This creates a wonderful stress free environment where children can play freely and develop the confidence to explore.

20/06/2024

Looking forward to this amazing event for a special little girl!

Make sure you come down to see all of the amazing activities and help raise important funds for this family.

See you there!

Nurture and care is one of our 6 values that sits at the heart of everything that we do. We feel that it is vital that we look after our little visitors and their grown ups with nurture and care and also when children are playing, we want to encourage the development of these skills too. As this value has two key elements to it, I’m going to talk about each one separately and explain how we promote nurture and care here at Pop Up Play Village.

Right from the booking process to arriving at our village until the end of your experience, we strive to make it a fun, relaxing and stress free experience for all of our visitors both children and adults. Pop Up Play Village is a whole family experience and we want everyone to have a great time. We care so much about our visitors and ensuring that you all have a wonderful experience so if there is anything you need, do just let us know.

We have an open plan village without any borders and backdrops in order to provide a relaxing and stress free experience for both children and adults. You can see your children at all times and they can see you so if they decide to explore our village independently, you can still see them and give them independence at the same time.

We have large play areas so that children and adults can play together in a relaxed environment. It is relaxed because there are multiple of the same resources in each play area which allows the children to play with and alongside each other. Our play areas are large enough for adults to join in which is a great way to spend quality time playing and exploring our play areas with your little ones.

Our play areas are baby proof and we have a baby play area too so if you have a baby as well as older children, you can bring them together. You can relax in knowing that there is plenty for your baby to explore too and that it is a safe environment.

Now let’s look at how our village encourages nurturing and caring skills whilst children are playing. Our village is a very sociable place to play in. This means that children are learning how to be kind, caring and are learning how to share and explore the play areas with others. Our play areas have been designed to encourage caring and nurturing skills. For example in the hospital, the children are learning how to look after and care for the patients in there. In the baby nursery, the babies need to be cared for and often there are conversations in there about how we look after babies and what they need to make them happy. In the café, the children are sharing the food with others, preparing food for other people and taking it in turns to talk to each other whilst having a meal.

Our whole village has been carefully thought out to promote caring and nurturing skills and as children arrive to play, they are instantly learning how to play with others and communicate with each other in a caring and nurturing environment.
