Little City Mobile Role-Play! School Workshops

Provided by Little City UK (External Provider)

People Who Help Us

Play is such a fundamental part of children's learning and development so, with a mobile role-play city that comes to you, children can explore the topic 'People Who Help Us' through play! The city complements the learning done in the classroom. From firefighters to hairdressers, and vets to construction workers, Little City has so much to offer. The free-flow nature of the sessions means that children can follow their interests and there is no ceiling on their experiences. Sessions are the perfect way for staff to observe children in a different setting, without having any additional work! Due to the nature of the set up, the boards not only give a great backdrop to the children's learning, they also help make smaller areas so children who may find new settings overwhelming, can feel safe in 'their area' whether that is the Post Office, Doctors or another one of the 10 areas! The city helps develop language in a safe environment with opportunities to learn new vocabulary e.g mechanic

Format

There are more than 36 Little City branches across the UK. Sessions start with the Little City team member introducing themselves to the children, before talking about the city, linking it to learning if requested. The children will then have time to explore the different areas, at their own pace, following their own interests. Sessions conclude with a quick tidy up before stickers are given to the children. Children who would benefit seeing the city before their classmates are welcome to do so.

Testimonials

Little City came to visit us at our school in Bracebridge Heath. I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the booking process, to the quality of the equipment and the friendly, efficient delivery of the morning, it was FANTASTIC. This is a busy time of year in school, but Sam made this experience so positive for all of our staff. The children had the most amazing time and have talked about it since the visit. The whole experience was inclusive for all of our children and it was wonderful to see their imaginations run wild. Hope to see you in our school again soon."

Teacher, Bracebridge Heath Infants, Lincolnshire

We recently had a fantastic experience with Little City, who came in and hosted a school workshop for our EYFS and KS1 children. Leanne was very helpful and made the whole process very straightforward, both Leanne and Ali ere friendly, calm and encouraging during the workshop. The role play set up was inviting and thoughtfully organised, there was something to engage every child. It was wonderful to see our children work together to communicate and we saw brilliant turn-taking skills, storytelling and problem solving throughout the morning. We would absolutely recommend Little City to other schools, we have had lots of wonderful compliments from children, staff and parents.

Teacher, London Colney School

I am delighted to share what a fantastic experience we had with Little City today. It truly was an outstanding visit from start to finish. All of our children were fully engaged throughout the session, including our children with SEND. The setup provided a rich, stimulating environment that encouraged imagination, collaboration and purposeful play. It was wonderful to see every child accessing the provision so confidently and with such enthusiasm. Jade was punctual, professional and incredibly efficient. She set up everything independently and seamlessly, ensuring the environment was inviting and ready for the children. At the end of the session, she packed everything away just as smoothly. Throughout the visit, Jade interacted beautifully with the children. She was warm, approachable and attentive, supporting their play without taking over, and encouraging meaningful conversations and role play. Her positive energy really contributed to making the day such a success. It was a truly valuable experience for our EYFS cohort, and we would highly recommend Little City to other settings. We are already looking forward to welcoming them back again!
