Play is at the heart of our families programme.

Children learn best when they're engaged, curious, and having fun. Our weekly play sessions create a rich, stimulating environment where little ones can explore, create and imagine. Through hands-on play, children naturally develop communication skills, build confidence and grow the independence they need to thrive – laying strong foundations for nursery, school life and beyond.

Rich Mix is always so welcoming and friendly – I’ve also met friends and local parents because of these sessions.

For parents and carers, it's a chance to play alongside your child and connect with other local families in a warm, welcoming space. 

Delivered in partnership with Northwest Children and Families Centre and Save the Children, sessions are rooted in a shared belief that every child is unique and special – and that play is one of the most powerful tools we have to help them flourish. 

It really gave my family bonding time and we all enjoyed the creative side.
