As members of the school age childcare sector, we have a responsibility to advocate for play. To do that effectively, we must strive towards becoming experts in play, as we continue to further professionalise the sector. This session should put you on that path!
This 2.5 hours session has been created to help staff working in school age childcare develop a deeper understanding of:
WHY is play important?
Children’s right to play
Biological driver
Developmental benefits
WHAT is play?
Play types
Characteristics of play
Play cycle
HOW can we support play?
Observing and reflecting to ensure play is safe, inclusive, challenging and fun!
This in-person session is a mix of theory and activity based, giving participants the chance to play. Afterall, if we are to be play experts, we need to practice play for ourselves too!

The tour guide was very good. He not only talked about Edinburgh Castle, but also focused on the Royal Mile. The guide was knowledgeable, explained clearly, and started on time.

Informative tour to learn about Scottish Whisky, plus the tasting after that, highly recommended.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
