The Little Play Village

The Little Play Village is a small, multi-award winning, independently run role play group based in Worthing. The carefully created play areas are designed to inspire imaginations and immerse children and families in play. Inspiration for all the sets is taken from real life village amenities. We are based in Goring but being mobile means the village can visit various venues. There are many ways you can explore The Little Play Village, including at one of our public events, at our popular parties or by booking us for a school or nursery visit, inviting us to offer wedding or celebration entertainment.

Why is Role Play Important for Children?

Children love to play and it is an important part of childhood. Role play is a type of play where children can take on a role and become someone else. Here are just some of the amazing benefits that children can gain from engaging in role play:

  • Explore their thoughts and ideas with confidence
  • Re-enact everyday scenarios to help them make sense of the world
  • Express their worries or concerns
  • Be creative
  • Develop their communication and language skills
  • Practice mathematical and literacy skills
  • Improve their motor skills
  • Have fun!
