Children's 'stay and play' franchise Train Time is just the ticket!
It’s not every day you are presented with an opportunity to combine work with play. But that is exactly what happened to local Dad Simon Megson, for he is on track to open new ‘stay & play’ events in the area of East Yorkshire.
The Train Time ‘Stay and Play’ facilities are centred around trains – and lots of them! Over 200 feet of track will be laid and an endless supply of carriages promise to make for an exciting play time. 38-year-old Project Officer Simon, decided to swap corporate life for a franchise opportunity with ‘Train Time UK’ as it offered him the opportunity to balance work and family life in a flexible and fun way.
So, what was it that made Simon jump onboard?
“I wanted to bring a new and exciting activity to the area for local families to enjoy. After researching the different stay & play sessions running across the UK Train Time UK stay & play sessions looked the best. They are totally different to anything running in our area. After speaking with the team at Train Time UK and realising our shared passions I knew this was the right opportunity for me and our area.”
“Bringing something totally new to families in all corners of our area, not just the major towns. I know families are going to love the sessions. I can’t wait to see kids, parents and grandparents playing and learning together. My six-year-old daughter can’t wait to be my assistant conductor in school holidays.”
The appeal of a trainset for children remains a mystery, but if one thing is certain, it is that trains are a fascination – for boys and girls, not forgetting the adults too. And, they have a purpose which can also enhance a child’s development in many ways.
Have fun with your little one and play trains until your heart is content’ is how the sessions are promoted – and this is evident as soon as you step into a Train Time venue. It is suitable for 'active babies and beyond' and each session lasts for 60 minutes.
Train Time is not just about playing; it is about learning too – the little ones’ minds go into overdrive; it helps develop their motor skills, their problem-solving abilities and it helps expand their vocabulary and communication skills, whilst also encouraging creativity and imagination.
