We're thrilled that Playground has been featured in Arts Council England's Annual Report 2025/26! It’s a wonderful moment of recognition for early years creativity.

Playground believes every child, has the right to experience high-quality creativity from birth. These early moments matter; from strengthening parent-child bonding and supporting social and communication skills, to the part they play in child development and building closer communities. Too often, work for the very youngest members of our communities is overlooked, so to see babies and children valued at this level is highly significant.

Thank you to Arts Council England, and to every baby, family, artist and partner who make Playground possible.
