Play Matters Playschool

🐞 🐛 MINI-BEASTS 🐜 🕷️
It was a creepy-crawly week at Play Matters, and we enjoyed ourselves so much! We even learnt some new big words like metamorphosis- hearing a 3 year old say that is the cutest. 🦋

Back into term 3 with happy hearts… our children at Play Matters are so precious and we’re so lucky to be part of their journey. We’ve been finding ways to be kind friends as well as having some Winter Wonder fun!

**********EXCITING NEWS!***********
From 2027 Play Matters Playschool will offer flexible options and you’ll be able to choose from 3, 4, or 5 day weeks for your little one. Registrations are open and spaces are very limited so please arrange a visit and let’s chat.

We have a space available for a 2-4 year old for the rest of this year- enrol now and there is no registration fee. Registrations for next year are officially open and spaces are very limited. We take a maximum of 8 children in our homely playschool. Mornings only, based in Sunningdale. Feel free to contact us for more info.

Get to know our founder, Sarah:

“I am passionate about early childhood development and believe these years are so crucial in laying the foundation for the rest of our lives. My passion extends to young families and seeing them flourish with joy and thriving children. I am a mom of three, and my youngest is currently part of the Play Matters class. I created Play Matters as I couldn’t find what I was looking for when my middle child was two, and saw a need that I was able to meet. I have loved growing Play Matters into a truly special place where parents can be confident that their child is receiving nurturing care and having the most enriching play experiences.
As an OT, I make sure that each activity, piece of equipment and moment of our morning provides opportunities for deep and meaningful play, which is where the magic of learning happens in children. I understand their developmental needs and our programme is structured accordingly.
I think that teacher Taryn and I make a great team!”

We love celebrating BOOKS! At Play Matters we have no shortage of books, and we regularly have story time throughout the morning. Books are such a foundational part of learning- bringing to life imagination, knowledge, literacy and more! 📚 ❤️

Our little friends each brought a book from home to share with their friends, and some dressed up or brought a prop to match their book. ❤️

We have a space available for a 2 or 3 year old to join our homely playschool in Sunningdale. Feel free to contact us to find out more. Sarah 0825683443

Get to know Teacher Taryn…

“I have always loved children and I have a B.Ed degree. I joined Play Matters in 2025 and before that I ran my own playschool since 2022. and over the years had all of my nieces and nephews come through my doors, along with many other very special children along the way.

Working with little people is the most rewarding path I could have chosen and I still learn something new every day and get fresh ideas for fun in the classroom. I also work as an instructor at a learning centre and tutor so I get to encourage and support older learners too. I enjoy yoga and pilates and long walks in nature.

I look forward to my mornings with my little ones at Play Matters and feel so blessed to have found a playschool that focuses on what matters most.”

Teacher Taryn brings a calm, gentle and experienced approach into our playschool and the children just love to learn and play with her.
