Abbey Village Playground Update! 🛝🎠

I know lots of residents have been asking when work will start on the play area improvements, and I'm pleased to share that work is set to begin from 20 July!! 🎉🥳

The upgrade will include new accessible play equipment for children aged 1️⃣–1️⃣2️⃣, helping create a fun & inclusive space for local families to enjoy! 🛝🎠

The designs were created by feedback from residents, so thank you to everyone who shared their ideas! I know the Wheelton 1st Girlguides made some excellent ideas! 🙌

Work is expected to take around 4–6 weeks to complete, and I can't wait to see the finished result! What part do you think looks the coolest! Let me know!! I think the space net looks awesome personally! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

👇 Take a look at the 3D designs below.

Thanks,

Oral language plays a vital role in children’s learning, literacy and social and emotional development.

Our latest guide supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help children build school-ready language skills.

The guide explores:
• Building oral language through meaningful interaction
• Supporting listening and attention
• Growing children’s vocabulary
• Sharing stories and naming feelings
• Working with settings to spot and support language needs
• Using evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs

With language developing rapidly between the ages of two and six, early support can make a lasting difference to children’s confidence, communication and readiness for school.
