However, this curriculum only states WHAT is required, not HOW you should implement it. DEEPPLAY © is our solution to delivering exceptional childcare.

DEEPPLAY
What is it?
Let’s look at each
of these ideas in
more detail.
Last updated 09 Jan 2026
Caring, Sharing and Preparing
A healthy, nutritionally
balanced diet appropriately
feeds the mind, body and
soul. Eat well, eat regularly
& eat healthily.
We always offer freshly prepared
nutritional foods to aid your
child’s development and growth.
You are what you eat!

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
Physical exercise drives the
body to develop and grow.
Make play physical, inside
and outside, through
activities involving dance,
running, balancing, climbing,
jumping, slithering, rolling,
building, kicking, throwing and
catching.

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
All the things you now take
for granted are the very
things your child is waiting
to discover for the first
time.
Recognise that your child will
delight in the mundane, thrive
on the ordinary, excite at the
usual, and often want to repeat,
repeat, repeat that experience.

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
The end product of any
process is not relevant, it is
the journey from the
beginning to the end that is
important for a child.
Learning a process (how to do
something) is where all the
learning takes place. What the
final outcome actually looks like
is totally irrelevant.

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
We gradually lose our
ability to play if we do not
engage life with the same
wonder we had as a child.
Regain that insight as you
share in your child’s delight and
amazement. This will
significantly enhance your ability
to engage your child in their
discoveries and development.

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
When you are having fun
your mind and body are at
their most receptive.
In this state of mind your
child wants to engage, loves to
learn, wants to be involved and
most of all wants to do it again
and again and again.

Caring, Sharing and Preparing
Everything looks, feels and
smells different as the
weather changes.
Hot, warm, cold, windy,
foggy, wet, snowy, icy – there is
always something new and
exciting to discover. The weather
isn’t the problem. The problem is
the way we are dressed.
