Play & Learning Activities
Play is at the heart of how children learn, explore and make sense of the world around them. This page brings together a range of trusted resources and activity ideas to support children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to older, more independent learners.
Here you’ll find inspiration for early play experiences, guidance on physical activity, and links to local opportunities that help families enjoy learning together. From imaginative indoor activities to outdoor adventures that spark curiosity, these resources offer simple, practical ways to support your child’s development through play.
As children grow, you’ll also discover opportunities for wider experiences such as clubs, community groups and outdoor challenges that build confidence, teamwork and lifelong skills.
