Stay and Play

So I took my little one to a stay and play session this week and she absolutely loved it! I had heard about these sessions when I took my bubs to be weighed but had not attended previously as they were always scheduled for nap time! Luckily for us the new timetable was better suited to my little lady's routine.

The sessions are free to attend and I think they are a fantastic way for youngters to socialise with other children the same age, the group was for 2-3 year olds. My daughter was able to paint, draw with chalk and a variety of other media, play in the home corner, enjoy story time and singing along.  The session leaders explained that on sunny days they go outside to play a variety of games.

Seeing how much my daughter enjoyed the session I will gladly take her once a week, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend to any mother/father who's local children's centre provide stay and play sessions.

Has anyone else has any experience with stay and play? I'm considering trying out tumble tots sessions too.
