Back to School Week 2026

At the end of September, we welcomed Early Years classes from local schools across our centres as part of our Back to School Week initiative, offering children the opportunity to enjoy a fun and memorable school trip completely free of charge.

Starting school is a big milestone, and we wanted to help children settle into their new surroundings, build friendships and get to know their classmates through play. Throughout the week, children had the chance to explore everything 360 Play has to offer, from imaginative role play in our 360 Street to climbing, sliding and exploring our play areas. With activities to suit different interests and abilities, there was plenty for everyone to enjoy.

 

Supporting Our Local Communities

As part of our commitment to supporting local schools and families, we offered these visits free of charge, helping schools provide an exciting experience for their pupils without the cost of admission. Beyond the fun, school trips provide valuable opportunities for children to develop confidence, communication and social skills. Through shared play experiences, children can build friendships, practise teamwork and learn more about the world around them. We hope our Back to School Week visits have helped create some wonderful memories for children at the very beginning of their school journey. Find out more about our community initiatives here.

 

Learning Through Play at 360 Play

At 360 Play, we believe play is an important part of children’s learning and development. Our centres offer a wide range of activities that encourage creativity, independence, problem solving and physical activity. We also welcome school and nursery groups throughout the year, with educational resources designed to support Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Primary learning.
