Proud of our team well done all x

🏆 We Won! 🏆

Today, Pop Up Play Village was honoured to win the Franchising Trailblazer Award at the Disruptive Franchise Awards.

I am incredibly proud, but this award is about so much more. This award belongs to our amazing franchise owners across the UK who bring the magic of role play to children every single day. It belongs to every family who has attended a session, every school that has welcomed us through their doors and every child whose imagination has been sparked through role play.

When I started Pop Up Play Village almost 10 years ago, my mission was to help children learn, develop confidence, communicate, explore emotions and thrive through the power of role play. To see that vision recognised today is truly special.

Thank you to our wonderful team of franchise owners for your passion, dedication and belief in what we do. Together, we are making a difference in communities across the UK and helping more people understand just how valuable role play really is. Here's to continuing to spread the power of role play! 🎊

To all of the wonderful mums that we get to meet day to day through Pop Up Play Village we want to wish you the happiest of Mother’s Day, whatever that means for you ❤️

We are lucky enough to get to watch you being the absolute best, investing time with your children through play, juggling newborns and toddlers, making it to a class even if the morning has not been great, potty training days, snack after snack after snack!

Not to mention believing in the power of imaginative play for your children, putting your all into their birthday parties and making sure they are entertained through the school holidays!

Just know that they are so lucky to have you and so are we. Have the absolute best day today 😊
