Free Stay and Play with Weston College & Ashcombe Children's Centre!
18 June 2025 08:00 – 13:30
Weston College is working with Ashcombe Children's Centre to create a Stay and Play for the community, where everything is completely FREE!
This exciting event will take place on Wednesday 18th June at Ashcombe Children's Centre with two sessions available:
Morning session: 9am – 10:30am
Afternoon session: 1pm – 2:30pm
Our stay and play allows for parents and carers to stay and play alongside their children in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Enjoy a morning of hands-on activities, creative play, and community interaction, all designed to support early development and learning.
Our Early Years and Education students will be there too, and have planned this event themselves as part of their course, using their knowledge and creativity. They will be leading activities and playing with children, and helping set up a fun-filled space for you and your little ones.
There will be a wide range of fun and stimulating activities designed to support children’s learning and development. These include:
- Messy play with sand, water, and mud
- A painting station where children can explore colours and their senses
- A quiet sensory area for those who prefer a calmer space
- A circle time mat where an adult will read stories and use counting blocks to help prepare children for school
All activities have been designed to support your child’s fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and overall early development, while encouraging creativity, confidence, and social interaction.
To keep everyone refreshed, free drinks and biscuits will be available during both sessions.
Spaces are limited, so if you’re interested in attending, please make sure to secure your slot in advance.
Everyone is welcome – we can’t wait to see you there!
