Before We Play...
A very warm welcome to Sensory Stay & Play by Play & Beyond!
At The Lakes Raffles Early Childhood Centre
Sensory Stay & Play is a relaxed outdoor space where children can explore, experiment and get wonderfully messy at their own pace. There is no agenda and no pressure, just the freedom to play, discover and connect.
It's also a lovely opportunity for parents and caregivers to slow down, meet other families and enjoy time together while the children explore.
When: Mondays, 9:30am to 11:30am
Age: Confident crawlers to 4 years and beyond
What to Bring
Messy clothes and swim nappies: Please dress yourself and your child for messy and water play. Clothes may get wet, dirty or permanently stained. Swim nappies are essential for little ones who still wear nappies. A spare change of clothes is always a good idea.
Shoes: Bring comfortable shoes that can get wet and are easy to slip on and off. Water shoes are ideal for our outdoor areas.
Snacks and water: Bring a water bottle and your favourite snacks for yourself and your child. For everyone's safety, children must be seated while eating or drinking. We have a designated snack area for this.
Hot drinks: Please enjoy coffee, tea and other drinks outside the nursery. Only water is permitted within the nursery premises.
Mosquito repellent: Our outdoor space is surrounded by plants so you're welcome to apply your preferred child friendly mosquito repellent before arriving.
A Few Things to Know
Stay and explore together
Children remain the responsibility of their accompanying adult throughout the session. Please stay close enough to support your child when needed while allowing them the freedom to explore, discover and take appropriate risks.
Our play spaces
Please remain within the designated Stay & Play areas and help us look after the resources and environment so everyone can enjoy them.
Photographs and videos
I love capturing little moments of discovery to share the magic of play with our community. Photos and videos are taken and shared in accordance with the consent you provide during registration.
You're welcome to photograph your own child but please be mindful of other families and respect their privacy.
I also encourage parents to put their phones away whenever possible and enjoy being present with their children.
Stay connected
Please save my WhatsApp number, 050 307 4694, so you can receive important updates about your session and easily reach me if needed.
Session Fees and Booking
AED 130 per child for two hours of sensory play.
What about siblings?
I absolutely love welcoming siblings to play together! As Play & Beyond is still a small and growing business, every session involves a great deal of preparation, resources and time to create the experiences your children enjoy. For now, I'm unable to offer sibling discounts and the same fee applies to each participating child. Thank you for understanding and supporting what I'm building.
Booking and payment
All sessions must be booked and paid for in advance. Each booking is valid only for the selected date and a new booking is required for each session you'd like to attend.
I can't wait to welcome you and your little one for some wonderfully sensory play!
