Our Children

OPAL Parent Playtime - November 2023

We invited our families in to enjoy an OPAL playtime with us.

 

We asked our families what they thought of our OPAL playtimes.  The results speak for themselves...

 

We asked our families what the best bits about OPAL playtimes are.

OPAL Best Bits...
Freedom and imagination
Parent
Time together with children ????
Parent
The range of activities for all children to access.
Parent
Mud kitchen, den building, very impressed with all the resources for the children.
Parent
So many different things for the children to get stuck into - the kids told me they can go and help themselves to things in the storage bit too, which I loved the idea of.
Parent
Wheeled toys, so well organised - well done Mrs Mannering!!
Parent
The variety of different areas to play in.

I love the variety and the ever-expanding areas! My son was so excited to show me around!

Seeing everyone playing together.

Lovely to see how much fun playtime is for the children.
Parent
The range of different bicycles / the green area with wooden poles.
Parent
So many different things to do, giving the children chance to climb, ride, play and use their imagination.
Parent
Exploring with the crates etc. Use of sports equipment.
Parent
The freedom they have and the atmosphere.
Parent
Busy and buzzing children as they had plenty of stimulating play equipment available for al interests and ages!
Parent
The variety of things to do and plenty of space to move around.
Parent
The play area, the climbing frames and selection of bikes.

There is so much for the children to do.

We asked our families what would make OPAL playtimes even better. Here were some of their suggestions ...

Sheltered areas. More sturdy shelter for the children during rain and also in the summer as there isn’t much at all.
Parent
Maybe a specified football area. Lower basketball hoops for the younger children.
Parent
I think they have awesome variety. Well done everyone!
Parent
Nothing!
Parent
Adding another slide / maybe swings?
Parent
Resources are well maintained and there is a huge variety. Maintaining these must be a challenge but a big well done to the entire team for doing so!
Parent
Maybe a better selection of stuff to use eg footballs, rugby balls, tennis balls, throwing and catching stuff etc.
