Hospital Playbox Evaluation

 

Hospital playboxes are designed to help young children prepare for a visit to hospital. Children can use them to familiarise themselves with the different uniforms, people, and equipment they might see on their visit.

HPBs are currently distributed by our Area Coordinators, they are mainly designed for group use, and may therefore appeal to childminders, nursery schools, primary schools and other early years groups. If you are interested in borrowing one please contact the office.
