Play is a process that enables all children to make sense of the world they inhabit and supports all areas of learning and development in the earliest years. Continuous Provision is an effective approach that provides the context and teaching strategies for playful learning to occur in a differentiated manner. Come and find out more about the research that underpins the approach and explore ways to make it work effectively for the children in your setting. We will consider how enabling learning environments, both inside and out, can deepen children's thinking, skills, and knowledge, and we will explore the role of the educator as an effective play partner alongside.
