Play to the untrained eye can look meaningless, however there is a lot more going on than you can see. When children are playing, they are engaged, their imagination is sparked and they are developing confidence and key foundation skills. Play is the way children learn about the world and themselves especially in the early years.

We have spoken with many educational experts, founders of charities, award winning author, international presenters, expat parents and so many more.
