Our Kids play workshops are fun filled, hands on sessions teaching a range of creative ideas for games to play with young children aged 18 months upwards, using “common house hold” goodies from margarine tubs, to toilet rolls, hose pipes to wooden planks.

We offer two themes during the year – Summer Kids play and Winter Kids Play.   Our summer Kids play workshop focuses on outdoor activities while the winter Kids play workshop focuses on arts and creative play.

We also demonstrate how to get the most out of a few old favourites such as lego and building blocks.

The workshop is run from a family home, thus making it possible to make much of the learning practical.

Running for one 3 ½ hour session the workshop costs R450.00 for "new nannies" and R350.00 for nannies who have attended our Sugar & Spice Nanny course. We will also bring the course to you for a group of 4 or more.
