Back to Basics - Home of Play

06/05/2026

Looking back at all the wonderful memories we made at The Home of Play before closing in 2021. I can't believe how different it all looks now. We met so many wonderful children and families and made a lot of lovely memories.

Unfortunately, due to my health The Home of Play garden will not be re-opening it's gates again 😞
We do however hope to offer you all something slightly different still authentic and created with the inspiration of encouraging exploration, play and love for nature 💚

The Home of Play will soon be offering open-ended toys, learning resources, story sacks and authentic props for you to explore at home or give your party/ celebration the "real" feel.

While we begin to re-design we would love to know your thoughts 💭

What are your children's favourite things to play with and explore?

Would you hire open ended toys and resources?

Please feel free to share any ideas and suggestions below 👇

Thank you for your support 💚

As I begin to plan the reopening and new things I would like to offer you all. I would love to know what you look for when booking somewhere for your children to play.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

What a beautiful idea 💚🎄

•Recycled Pine Tree Lanterns•
These pine tree lanterns make the perfect handmade Christmas gift, nature walk accessory, or decoration for your home! They are so easy to make, inexpensive, and kids will love to help with the process. We have a group of three lanterns in our living room and they are some of our favorite holiday decorations!
