The broad purpose of the occupation is to care for and support children in taking responsibility for themselves and their own playing whilst creating a stimulating and adventurous space for children to learn and explore in their own way, following their own intent, ideas and inventions.

Playworkers observe and monitor this play for children’s development, engagement and safety, both physical and emotional.
