When the play session is in full swing and you notice everyone has literally and figuratively kicked off their shoes 😂

The remains of a one on one therapeutic play session at The Play Sanctuary

Child-led play takes you down lots of different avenues, some expected, others certainly not!

Our new #P2N2 group enjoyed exploring the newly decorated #PlaySanctuary on Wednesday.

Plenty of #active fun followed by marshmallows on the fire 🔥

We had a lively morning on #SuperSaturday with shop role play, circus skills on stilts and #PlayRanger Joe had a painty makeover 🎨😅

Plenty of totally #childled group fun last night with our #P2N2 after school players.

From games of ‘Among Us’ in the park, to battles with robots and dinosaurs 🦖🤖

We enjoyed a busy and bustling #communityplay day in #AylandGardens on Tuesday 🌈

Activities included clay modelling, den building, gymnastics displays and so many more #childled inspirations 🤸🏿‍♀️

Thanks to @tnlcommunityfund.org.uk for funding these sessions

Thanks to a kind donation from Play Ranger Mel T we had lots of musical instruments in the #PlaySanctuary which were used by our #P2N2 group - who even took them to the park 🎶 🥁 🎷

Our @tnlcomfund.bsky.social project ended in December, but the outcomes for children, young people and their families will continue. The benefits of playwork and working at the speed of trust having a lasting positive impact on people 🩵

Some of our #P2N2 players felt under the weather on Wednesday, so after a play in the park they asked if we could project a film for them to watch 🎥 🍿

After a lie down and a recharge they chose to play Uno and illuminate the play shack💡

Our Wednesday #P2N2 group chose to play in the park then head to the #PlaySanctuary for Lego building, cricket and fireside snacks

Two players asked Ranger Joe if he could bury them in the sandpit - resulting in lots of laughter 🏖️

Our school nurture group asked for water balloons - a right of passage at the #PlaySanctuary 🎈luckily Ranger Holly brought her waterproofs 💦

They also enjoyed making potions and an obstacle course to avoid the lava covered floor 🌋

We are also supporting caregivers with kindness and reporting on the strengths of their amazing children.
