Wakitu Kids - Barugh Green Primary School

When children are given the space to try, adapt, and try again, they learn that challenges are part of learning. These moments help build confidence and coping skills they carry into everyday life. 💪🌱

Fine and gross motor skills benefit greatly from free play. From building and running to climbing and role-playing, these activities help children to strengthen their bodies, coordination, and confidence.

Happy Friday! Don't forget that free play is VERY beneficial for children - try to encourage your child to have time for free play this weekend 😌

Unstructured play helps children regulate emotions, unwind, and feel safe expressing themselves. 😌

Wakitu exists to change the childcare story for families like yours. We know how tough it can be — childcare in the UK is one of the most expensive in the world, which makes parents feel stressed or stretched. Changing this narrative is exactly why Wakitu was created. ✨

Free play gives children the space to think, experiment, and discover.
These moments of self-directed play play a vital role in enhancing cognitive development and lifelong learning skills.

This is the reason we do what we do 💛
When children are excited to attend and leave with smiles, we know we’re doing something right.

Sometimes the greatest guidance is stepping back. When children choose for themselves, confidence and autonomy naturally follow.

🎊 Happy New Year! 🎊
Moving into a bright year of learning, love, and happy children 🌟📚

Wishing everyone an exciting, fun and memory-filled Christmas Day! 🎄 ❤️

In group free play, children learn to share, take turns, negotiate, communicate, and understand others’ feelings 🤝✨

When play is open-ended, children figure things out on their own: “How does this fit?”, “What happens if…?” This strengthens their critical thinking skills.

We had a wonderful time writing Santa letters and exploring through free play. Christmas cheer is growing every day! ⭐
