About Arthur's Play Space
Communication and Language
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
Our space encourages chatting, storytelling, and role play - helping little ones build their vocabulary, express themselves, and develop listening skills as they interact with friends and grown-ups. To support all forms of communication, we also have a Makaton signing board, making our environment more inclusive and helping every child feel understood and included.
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language
From soft play and climbing to mark-making and fine motor activities, children strengthen both their gross and fine motor skills while staying active and having fun. We offer both indoor and outdoor play areas, giving little ones plenty of space to move, explore, and develop physical confidence in all kinds of environments.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development
We create a warm, inclusive environment where children learn to share, take turns, build confidence, and manage their emotions - developing friendships and independence through everyday play. Our space encourages kindness, empathy, and resilience, helping children feel safe, supported, and ready to navigate the world around them.
Literacy
Understanding the World
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
We support early literacy by making books a natural part of play. Children can snuggle up on our comfy sofa with a story from our well-stocked bookshelf, or discover books in baskets placed around the space - perfect for sparking curiosity and encouraging a love of reading wherever they are.
Mathematics

Through puzzles, construction, sorting, and imaginative play, little ones explore numbers, shapes, patterns, and simple problem-solving in ways that are hands-on and meaningful. Children can weave maths into everyday activities -like counting toy food, building towers, or setting the table in the play cafe -making learning feel fun and natural.

We help children make sense of the world around them through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and wonder. Our space hosts a variety of themed events and visits from different characters-introducing little ones to people, places, cultures, and traditions beyond their everyday environment. Through imaginative play, seasonal activities, and real-world role play (like cafés, kitchens, and shops), children begin to understand how things work, celebrate diversity, and develop a deeper connection with the world they live in.

Expressive Arts and Design
Children are encouraged to explore their creativity through art, music, role play, and imaginative games. With access to costumes, instruments, craft materials, and themed play areas, they can express themselves freely and bring their ideas to life in fun, open-ended ways.
Our Music
At our play cafe, we believe that a calm and nurturing atmosphere helps children feel safe, focused, and ready to explore. That’s why we’ve carefully created our own mindful music playlist featuring soothing, calming tunes designed to encourage relaxation for both children and adults. Music is an important part of our ethos - it supports emotional wellbeing, reduces stress, and helps everyone slow down and enjoy the moment together. This mindful approach creates a peaceful environment where learning and play can truly flourish.
