At Smart Play Network, we know that knowledge, understanding and experience is fundamental to delivering quality play opportunities for children.  We believe that practitioners and professionals are key to promoting and enabling play and want to embrace new ideas and techniques to bring play to all aspects of children’s lives.  To support this, we have developed a range of courses, workshops and sessions which offer a variety of learning experiences that are practical, informative and fun.
