Playday 2023
It’s Playday on Wednesday 2nd August – the national day for play. Gymboree Play & Music is proud to be a Playday Champion this year, because we’re passionate about play!
Playday is a national initiative organised by Play England, Play Wales, Play Scotland and PlayBoard Northern Ireland. This year’s theme for Playday is ‘playing on a shoestring – making every day an adventure‘. It’s about focusing on the everyday low-cost or no-cost play adventures that children can enjoy at home, in settings, and in our communities.
- Play is essential at all ages and stages of childhood, and is particularly important during times of crisis.
- Play helps children make sense of the world around them, deal with challenges, and build resilience.
- Play is fun, enabling children to make friends, blow off steam, and cope with stress and anxiety.
- Play is vital for children’s health, happiness, and skills development including creativity, imagination, and sense of adventure.
We at Gymboree Play & Music know more than most about the benefits of play! So to celebrate Playday many of our Centres are throwing open their doors and offering free sessions for any little ones aged 0-5 years to come and play on our playfloors.
