Time to be present.

    Creative childcare that gives parents/carers time back while children engage in creative play.

    "Creativity is intelligence having fun."

    — Albert Einstein

    Einstein highlighted that innovation stems from playful exploration rather than rigid intellect. He viewed imagination as superior to knowledge, allowing the mind to envision new possibilities and solve complex problems through joy and curiosity.

    The creativity problem

    98% of children under 5 show genius-level creative thinking — but creativity declines with age. Schools are cutting creative subjects, and children spend an average of 6 hours per day on screens.

    "Creativity and problem solving skills are the most important for future generations."

    — Jenny Taylor MBE, IBM UK Foundation Leader

    Why creativity matters

    Creative play isn't just fun — it's essential for child development

    Problem Solving

    Creative play develops critical thinking and the ability to approach challenges from multiple angles.

    Emotional Intelligence

    Through creative expression, children build confidence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing.

    Communication

    Collaborative creative activities strengthen social skills, empathy, and effective communication.

    Adaptability

    Open-ended creative play teaches children to adapt, experiment, and embrace new possibilities.

    The cocorio approach

    We focus on engagement, not just supervision. Every session is guided by creative play aligned with Early Years Foundation Stage principles, helping children develop through the activities they love most.
