Becky

Hi, I’m Becky! I decided to set up Pop Up Play Village because I felt that there was a need for somewhere fun and educational to take young children to. I have two children who make excellent toy testers and were my inspiration for starting Pop Up Play Village. Before I launched Pop Up Play Village, I was an Early Years specialist teacher which I absolutely loved doing. After having my children, I wanted a more flexible career that enabled me to spend quality time with them. Pop Up Play Village has allowed me to do this!

Hi, I’m Jayne! I love working at Pop Up Play Village as I value imaginative play as a fun learning experience. The children enjoy familiarity in roles which represent real life situations.  I think it’s a great opportunity for parents and carers to role play alongside their children helping to create memorable and enjoyable experiences for both.  I’ve worked in Early Years and taught early years provision to nursery staff.  Having observed children play I have seen how much more focused, socially confident and independent they can become through having opportunities  for role play.  I love running events and look forward to meeting local families.
