Southampton Children'S Play Association Description
Our core values and objectives are drawn from the Southampton Children and Young People's Play Strategy:
Objective One: The provision extends the choice and control that children have over their play, the freedom they enjoy and the satisfaction they gain from it.
Objective Two: The provision recognises the child's need to test boundaries and responds positively to that need.
Objective Three: The provision manages the balance between the need to offer risk and the need to keep children and young people safe from harm.
Objective Four: The provision maximises the range of play opportunities.
Objective Five: The provision fosters independence and self-esteem.
Objective Six: The provision fosters children's respect for others and offers opportunities for social interaction.
Objective Seven: The provision fosters the child's well-being, healthy growth and development, knowledge and understanding, creativity and capacity to learn.
