Learning Disguised as Play This Autumn

Autumn is such an exciting time for families, new routines, cooler days, and plenty of reasons to get out and explore together. At 360 we love turning this season into an opportunity for children to learn in ways that feel fun, natural, and totally away from digital devices.

Children are naturally curious, and when they are given the chance to dive into hands on activities, something amazing happens. They are not just playing, they are problem solving, experimenting, and building confidence without even realising it. This autumn, we have woven seasonal themes into our activities so children can explore everything from why the leaves change colour to how teamwork helps solve challenges. It’s learning they will remember, because it is connected to the things they are experiencing right now.

And of course, autumn wouldn’t be complete without a little Halloween magic! Our safe trick or treating event means children can dress up, collect treats, and celebrate in a secure, family friendly space. It’s all the fun, without the worry, and parents can relax knowing their little ones are safe and happy.

What really sets us apart is how naturally learning and play blend together here. Building a tower becomes a lesson in problem solving. Group games turn into lessons in communication and teamwork. Seasonal crafts spark creativity while connecting children to the world around them. It is education, but in disguise, and the best part is, children genuinely enjoy every minute of it.

So, if you’re looking for a way to celebrate the season, keep your children engaged, and create some lasting memories, come spend a day with us. This autumn is about more than pumpkins and costumes, it is about giving children the chance to grow, explore, and discover in a way that feels magical.

We can’t wait to welcome your family this Autumn for safe trick or treating, lots of hands-on fun, and learning that stays long after the leaves have fallen.

Why not try this paper pumpkin craft activity at home with your children. They could make lots of different sizes and colours to use to decorate at Halloween
