“What a wonderful free flowing set up”
“Hands down the best activity I’ve done with my little girl. So many activities for toddlers are over structured and expect kids to sit there passively. Make-Do Play was so well done, my daughter came home absolutely filthy covered in paint and it was wonderful. And we got saws!”
“Children are free to use their imagination and just have fun! It’s an amazing asset to the community and is loved by so many people”
“The loose parts provide so many different play opportunities - whether it’s explorative, imaginative or sensory. It means it’s totally accessible to all children, whatever their age or ability”
“Kerri and Dom do a brilliant job of facilitating it, you can tell they are playworkers and how passionate they are”
“I have never seen my child have such free rein and space for imagination. There was such an amazing variety of activities and it gave me real inspiration for some things to try at home”
“I see so many mums rave about your play sessions! It’s unique”
“Great mix of open-ended play to capture imaginations”
“Lots of ecstatic kids running riot in the dizzying magical chaos. That bit was best of all.”
“Pretty cool to see the kids playing barefoot in the park with
paint on their mucky beaming faces”
“This is an AWESOME play project. Make-Do Play run the most creative, free and inspiring stay and play sessions, creating a nurturing space that really lets children lead the way in their play, learning and exploration”
“They’ve done an absolutely brilliant job of offering just what we all need right now - a bit of freedom, a bit of creativity and a bit of socialisation - it was just lovely”
“He had an absolute blast and seriously did not want to leave. We love playing here”
“We had a great time. The eldest kept himself busy and could have stayed all day. He was in heaven with numerous boxes and unlimited tape”
“I love these sessions, such fun and laid back”
“This is an amazing community play session”
"It was beautiful to see children given the freedom, tools and resources to explore, build, imagine and create according to their own play needs and ideals.
I would recommend this play session to anyone, the children are given absolute respect, their right to play, to choose, to rest and refuse was completely honoured. And most importantly the fun was totally contagious! Absolutely first class!"
“We had such an amazing day! It was honestly the best day out we’ve had recently! Lots of exploration in nature, building, playing in mud and imaginative play, exactly what kids should be doing. It made me so happy to see both children having so much fun! My heart is full”
"A playgroup for children of all ages that makes you wonder why there are no more places like this in this gigantic London of thousand opportunities. An oasis of happiness. When it was time to go home, he started crying and just did not want to abandon the garlands of flowers, the pieces of coloured plastic tubes, the makeshift swings in the trees. What a great place"
(From Londra Chiama Italia)
“Sploshing hands in paints and dressing up in materials and every other crafty thing you can think of, is what fun is made of. The use of boxes and materials you probably have lying about somewhere in the home is a bit of genius and it just felt organic and like what play is meant to be. I was equally engaged watching the Littles make something out of anything. I got to stand around and have a REALLY good natter with a bunch of like minded mums who were pretty awesome without having to check up on what Little was up to all the time.”
“The face paints at the last session were brilliant - it was amazing to see how focused my daughter and her friend were painting their own faces (and some adult ones!) I loved how much autonomy it gave them”
