What is it?

Drop-in Play is there for you and your Outdoor Explorers with fun and friendly faces to say hi to. An outdoor stay and play session for under 5s and their caregivers in term-time with a range of activities, lots of space to have fun safely and share stories with hot drinks available.

Book in, drop-in and spend as long or as little as you want! ​Two drop-in play slots available: 10.00-12.00 and 12.00-14.00, bookable two weeks in advance.

Come along for:

• a friendly space for you to be amongst other parents, grandparents and caregivers
• fun play opportunities for your child to enjoy and learn
• and good quality hot drinks to keep you going!​

Spaces are limited and all Covid-19 guidelines are followed - for our full policies please click here.

Through Summer and Autumn 2021, these sessions were supported by National Lottery Community Fund and run as ​Pay As You Feel.

We are hoping to be back playing in Spring 2022 in All Saints.

You can support accessible play in our city by donating in the session, online here or purchasing a hot drink whilst playing! I

 We had so much fun today exploring outdoors. The mud kitchen was very messy and great for little imaginations to blossom. We loved exploring the plants and leaves with the microscopes to see what we could see. The wooden building area was a hit with my little boy as well. Thank you for a lovely afternoon."
