What happens at a session

Plenty to explore, and room to make a mess.

Each morning is led by a professional and supported by Centre volunteers, so you can relax while your child gets stuck in.

Painting

Brushes, sponges and plenty of colour. Aprons on, sleeves up.

Water play

Pouring, splashing and filling. Simple fun that keeps small hands busy.

Sand

Dig, scoop, build and knock it all down again.

Lots of toys

A wide variety of toys set out on soft mats, from play kitchens to a little slide.

New friends

A gentle first step in mixing with other children, before nursery and school.

Tea & a chat

Grown-ups get tea, coffee and conversation. Children get healthy snacks.

Small steps, big confidence.

From holding on to mum or carer on the first morning, to running off happily to play within a few weeks.

That is the change parents tell us they love to see. Stay & Play has been part of West Acton Community Centre for more than ten years, and it gently helps children get ready for the next steps in their development and early education.

  • Led by a professional, supported by Centre volunteers
  • Community-run and kept affordable on purpose
  • Welcoming to parents, carers, nannies and childminders
