Play is essential for children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. In schools and childcare settings, high-quality play opportunities help children build social skills, confidence, and resilience, supporting both academic achievement and emotional growth.
Schools and Childcare are one of the three areas of play as outlined in Scotland’s Play Strategy and Play Vision Statement and Action Plan, alongside play at home and in the community.
By embedding play in education and childcare settings, we create environments where all children can thrive.
