Read, Play, Create

02/05/2026

After sharing a little glimpse yesterday, I had a few messages asking what it actually looks like…

So here’s a look at a session 🤍

We start with a story, then move into child-led play where little ones can explore, repeat, interact and build their language in a really natural way.

No pressure, no forcing — just a calm space where they can be themselves.

If your little one would love something like this, we’d love to have you 🤍

Wednesday sessions are open to book:

Imagine a space where your child doesn’t have to sit still, be quiet or fit into a box…

Just a calm, welcoming environment where they can explore, play, and build their confidence through stories 🤍

That’s exactly what Read, Play, Create is all about.

It might look like simple play… but it’s where language grows, imagination develops and little ones start to really find their voice.

And it’s not just one session — it’s something that builds week by week.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, this is your sign 🤍

I wish more people realised this…
Playdoh isn’t just play.

“Rescue the animals!”
The excitement, the curiosity, the little hands digging and searching.

And then they took over.

Hiding the animals. Creating their own ideas.
We started noticing footprints… talking about how animals move.

This is how language grows.
Not forced. Not structured. Just through moments like this.

Honestly… I love playdoh for it 🤍

Join us at Read, Play, Create weekly on Wednesdays and watch your little one's development, confidence and love of books thrive 🥰

A little look at what we got up to today 🤍

So much exploring, playing and bringing our story to life in such a calm, engaging way.

I love seeing it all come together just before the littles arrive!
Today, they were buzzing with excitement, completely absorbed, curious and just enjoying being in it.

More from today coming tomorrow 🤍

Check out our next Wednesday sessions and our Sunday specials on the website! 🥰

Tomorrow 🤍

These sessions are always at their best when they feel calm, relaxed and unhurried… and that’s exactly what tomorrow is shaping up to be.

A really lovely small group, lots of space to explore, and time to properly enjoy the story and play together.

We’ll be bringing another gorgeous book to life through water play, sensory trays and simple, engaging activities that support language and confidence without it feeling forced.

If you’ve been before and have been meaning to come back, this is such a lovely session to return to 🤍

Or if you’ve been watching for a while, this is a perfect one to come and try.

A few spaces still available for Wednesday morning — you can book here: www.readplaycreate.com or give me a message 😀

Still thinking about this 🤍
Being featured in the Bromsgrove Advertiser this week honestly meant so much.

What started as a simple idea… to bring stories to life through play to help my little boy… is now something that so many little ones have experienced and loved.

And I’ll say it honestly — after Easter things always dip a little, and I’d really love to fill Wednesday back up again
We’ve got some gorgeous stories planned and lots of opportunities for little ones to explore, play and build their language in such a natural, calm way.
If you’ve been before and have been meaning to come back, this is your little nudge 🤍

Or if you’ve been watching for a while, now’s a really lovely time to come and see what it’s all about.

Only a few weeks left of term, so it’s perfect for a little block or just to try a session.

💛 One for the core memory 💛

I didn’t even know this had been published today 🥹

Read, Play, Create was featured in the Bromsgrove Advertiser — and it honestly means so much to see something I care about being recognised like this 🤍

These sessions were created to support children’s language, confidence and love of stories in a way that feels simple, calm and genuinely enjoyable (for both children and parents).

✨ And we’re back next week ✨
We’re exploring Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
🐻 animals
🎨 colours
💧 water play (always a favourite!)
🎨 messy, creative play — without you having to clear it up

If you’ve been thinking about coming along, this is your sign to come and be part of something truly special. 💛

'I wanted to create something that felt simple and accessible for families, but had real impact'

✨ Not school age yet? Start early. ✨

Most parents wait until 4 to think about school readiness…
But by then, the foundations are already set.
Confidence.
Language.
A love of books.

These start now 💛

I’m running a 3 week Story Play block to build these skills early:
Designed for 6 months – 5 years, in a calm, welcoming space where your child can explore, play and grow in confidence.

Here’s what’s coming up:
🐛 Week 1 – Nibbles Numbers
🦁 Week 2 – Brown Bear, Brown Bear (different animals + language)
🏴‍☠️ Week 3 – Adventure Tales (pirates, firefighters, trains)

This is for you if:
• your child is a little shy or unsure in new spaces
• you want them to talk more and engage more
• you want to build a love of books early

📍 Bromsgrove Girl Guide Centre
🗓 Wednesdays 9:45–10:45💛 3 week block – 6% off (code DGH287)

⚠️ Designed as a small group so spaces are limited

If you’ve been watching for a while, this is the best way to start.

Most parents think school readiness = letters and numbers.
But after 15 years in the classroom… I can tell you this 👇

It’s the children who can communicate, listen, and join in who settle quickest.

That’s why everything we do is story-led, play-based and focused on language.

If you’ve been wondering how to support your little one before school… this is it 🤍

📍 Weekly sessions + weekend specials

We’ve got spaces this Wednesday — if your little one is starting to explore numbers or you just want to build confidence through play, come and join us.
