It's fantastic to see the importance of play highlighted in today's headlines with the release of the inquiry report! This resonates deeply with our mission at Green Bean, as we've been championing the value of play for the past 5 years, and our founder, Anita Frost, has been a passionate advocate for over 20 years. At Green Bean Studios, we're committed to supporting children's play, learning, and outdoor adventures. Our retail collection not only provides children with what they need but also fosters positive behaviour change – a fact supported by the 9 out of 10 parent recommendation rate. The release of the Raising the Nation Play Commission's Interim Report, 'State of Play,' today marks a significant step in recognizing the critical role of play in children's well-being in England. The interim Report lays down the foundations for a Play Strategy for England to be proposed to the Government in the Commission’s final report in June. It both highlights the significant barriers preventing children in England from playing, including a reduction in school playtime and proposes solutions to the Government to make play an integral part of growing up again.
The report argues a National Play Strategy is more urgent than ever, with around four in ten children living with unhealthy weight, more than a quarter of children overweight (including obese), one in five children and young people in England struggling with a diagnosable mental health problem, and around one in three children, not school ready.
