Role Play Area in Chesterfield

Any young veterinarians out there? We have lots of furry friends that need taking care of in our Tiny Town Vets Role Play Area. Use a stethoscope, give them medicine and bandage them up to make them better!

Within our role play vets area you can find a reception desk with a keyboard, telephone and a book to schedule appointments for the animals! As well as an operating table with a sink, medical equipment and medicine, and, of course, lots of animals!

While engaging in pretend-play in the Vets role play area, children can be encouraged to use different vocabulary relating to the occupation and use it during their play. Communication and language skills can be developed through pretend-play in the Vets, children can ‘feed the animals’ or ‘walk the dog’ for example.

Children in reception will be learning to talk about their immediate family and friends. You can encourage conversations about pets and looking after animals while children engage in role-play in our Vets Play Area. The animal teddies can be used to help children talk about feelings and ways to look after their pets. Tools that are typically found in a Vets, such as toy syringes, stethoscopes, thermometers can be used to develop a child’s motor skills as they grip, hold and push/pull to make them work.
