The Outside Play Club kids put on a circus yesterday. Everything was 100% their idea. They chose the acts they wanted to perform, picked out the location of the stage, planned space for the audience, and managed themselves while practicing. #ChildLed

Little Hiccups

Santa visited Little Hiccups yesterday! 🎅✨

We kept it completely low-pressure and child-led. Santa was so relaxed, letting the children dip in and out at their own pace.

Seeing them engage on their own terms in a safe, comfortable space is pure magic. 🎄💖

Play Gloucestershire

@playglos.bsky.social

It’s always fascinating to watch the evolution of #childled play.

Last week our #P2N2 players co-created a game where the balloon had to land in the basketball hoop, followed by the basketball and then a bucket of water was placed underneath to create a splash - endless fun 🎈🏀 💦

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 🦖🤖

*NURSERY* Following our wee ones recent interest & excitement in Christmas we have offered Christmas provocations and experiences for our wee ones. We wrote Santa Claus a letter & walked to the village post box to post it. We really hope Santa replies to us. ✉️ 🎅🏼 #childled #responsive #Christmas2025

@whitecrossps.bsky.social

*NURSERY* Following on from our interest in baking/cooking some provocations outdoors led to children transferring their experience of cooking & baking into imaginative play. ‘This is our ingredients’ ‘I’m making chicken pie’ ‘Vegetables’ ‘Mixing it’ ‘Cook it to make it warm’ #Childled #Responsive
