Our Centre and Different Areas

Our Babies’ Imaginative Area

The Childrens imaginative play allows children to play out parts of everyday life, for example coming to terms with a new baby or going shopping.

This helps children understand human behaviour and relationships. It is well equipped and often changes from house to shop, hospital to café.

Dressing up clothes and puppets are also available encouraging children to play out their fantasies and role-play.
