About Us
The Play Edit is a trusted voice in the world of early years play.
Created by the team behind Playworks Ltd – one of the UK’s leading playground installation specialists – we bring decades of experience in child development, play theory, and real-world delivery.
But this isn’t just theory. The Play Edit is rooted in everyday parenting. Born from the messy middle of building a business while raising small children, our content blends practical insight with expert perspective. We know how hard it is to cut through the noise and find what really matters when it comes to supporting children’s development through play.
That’s where we come in.
We share honest, evidence-informed advice, play ideas that actually work in real homes, and straight-talking content that doesn’t patronise or sugar-coat. Whether you’re a parent, practitioner, or industry professional, The Play Edit helps you make confident, considered choices about play.
Why “The Play Edit”?
Because every family, every child, and every setting is different – and what works for one might not work for another. We sift through the research, road-test the ideas, and edit out the fluff so you don’t have to.
This is play, thoughtfully curated.
Our mission is to make play purposeful, practical, and powerful.
We help parents, carers, and professionals support children’s development through expert-backed ideas, real-life play inspiration, and honest insight. No fluff, no guilt — just confident, curious, connected play.
“Play isn’t just a way to pass the time — it’s how children make sense of the world, build confidence, and connect with the people who matter most.”
— Christina Bell, Founder of The Play Edit
