Why invest in playwork training when play seems so intuitive for children?
Play may seem instinctive for children, but supporting it effectively requires specialised knowledge and skills. Understanding the play process and the role of the playworker ensures children have the freedom to explore, create, and grow in a well-supported playwork setting. Quality training at play worker courses provide structured guidance on working with children, helping practitioners supervise children while preserving their autonomy. Without proper training, playworkers may struggle with diverse needs, and play spaces risk becoming overly controlled by adult agendas.
Best practices in play and learning evolve constantly. Our courses ensure you stay informed with the latest approaches, empowering individuals and teams to maintain high standards in playwork.

The Playworker Development Course was life changing for me. After completing this course, I have a better understanding of what play really is, why play is important, and what I can do to advocate for play. Understanding play has helped me to view children as capable and competent people. The course has connected me to a network of support and encouragement that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere.
