Let's Play
Let’s Play is a Sure Start funded project providing lots
of play opportunities for children and families living in the Blaenymaes
area.
- Parent and Toddler Groups
Let’s Play team provide five parent and toddler groups in
the local community and Sparklers playgroup for two sessions. Parent
and Toddler sessions are designed to encourage parents to become
involved in their child's development by demonstrating the importance
of play and the learning of new experiences. Parent and Toddler
Groups are open access and three take place in local primary schools.
In addition to the benefit of taking part in the activities on offer
the groups enable young parents to go into the local school and
become familiar with the school environment before their child starts
school themselves. This breaks down barriers which will, in turn,
ensure that these families have a more positive experience of school.
Two Playgroup sessions
per week provide children with preparation for nursery in the term
before they start school. In addition to the educational benefits
of Playgroup children learn valuable life skills such as independence,
sharing etc.
