Free Time Zone lets your child choose what they wish to do at the end of a busy school day.

We understand that at the end of a busy school day, children are often tired and may just want to chill out during their time with us. For this reason, we schedule in Free Time Zone every day. During Free Time Zone children are able to choose what they want to do. There is a choice of playing board games, drawing, reading, Lego, Giant Jenga,puzzles, extensive art areas or just simply relaxing with friends. If children don’t feel like joining in any games or activities they are not forced to do so and are free to choose an activity of their own choice or just relax in the quiet area.

According to the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (2021), “Play is essential for children’s development, building their confidence as they learn to explore, to think about problems, and relate to others. Children learn by leading their own play and by taking part in play which is guided by adults.”
