Hello there and thank you for checking out my website.
The vision, my passion, the reality and the future...
I'm first and foremost a proud and dedicated parent of 2 children, I am also a PTUK certified Play Therapist, Adult Trainer, Creative Designer and Educational Content Writer.
My vision - is to provide a one stop shop for parents, carers, professionals and organisations who work towards improving children's experiences and outcomes.
Check out my other passion at www.trayplaydays.com.
My passion - is for all adults involved in this process of their growth to develop, nurture and extend their knowledge and understanding of early childhood experiences. The true value of play, how to nurture the developing brain through understanding their behavioural, emotional and developmental creative needs, as well as being trauma informed.
The reality - is after years of training, re-educating myself, being a busy parent and facing bumps in the road, I am finally in a place to share my passion, knowledge and experiences with you, hard working parents, carers, grandparents, friends, professionals, schools and organisations - whose goal is also to do the best possible by our future history makers.
The future - I write from the heart, inspired by science, research and informed best practice.
Who knows what the future will bring ... but I know this for sure ... we are all in this together, so let's embrace the phenomenon that is our 'instinctive need for human connection', and work towards improving children's social, emotional, educational and overall wellbeing.skills!

I have noticed my son is calmer now and more willing to tell me how he feels, especially when he feels overwhelmed.
Thank you Kerry

Everything we've had from Kerry @trayplaydays.com has been excellent. The service is second to none and the attention to detail is excellent. Each tray is carefully collated to make sure the range is engaging. They allow for my little one to really get creative and be the engineer of his own play. We can't wait for the next tray!
