WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TOY?

“My favourite toy is a doctor’s kit including a stethoscope because as a child, I Ioved dramatic play! Playing doctors was my absolute favourite. Dramatic play is an amazing way for children to use their imaginations, practise essential social skills and gain self-awareness. I am very passionate about play-based learning and aim to make it a central part of all sessions.”
