Play Studio: A Brand New Boutique Indoor Play Centre Has Opened In Sydney

Parents of little ones, rejoice! If you're always on the hunt for new places to entertain your tiny tots, we have some exciting news for you. There’s a cool new kid in town!

Designed with children and their parents in mind, a beautiful new boutique play centre has launched in Bondi Junction. Play Studio is dedicated to giving young children a place to be creative, imaginative and social, driven by a mission to deliver top-quality play experiences that encourage them to have fun and make friends while learning new things. Play Studio is a brand new concept for indoor play centres in Australia, establishing an innovative enrichment hub centred on a cornerstone of community.

The mum and dad duo behind Play Studio have consciously created a space where you can meet up with friends and build new connections while your children are engaged in an immersive environment that is equal parts enjoyable and educational.

With a passion for Early Childhood Education, Play Studio is a wonderland of sensory play, messy play and open-ended play that cultivates self-directed exploration and learning, harnessing the crucial period of brain development in under 5s. They have a team of experienced and caring teachers on board to interact with your kids, tapping into their innate curiosity and imagination so they can research, invent and create, getting the most out of every experience.

Play Studio offers awesome Open Play sessions you can attend with your child or you can enrol in a weekly class (with plenty of playtime afterwards!). Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the studio space changes every week with different learning environments so children can explore a fresh, new world each time they come.

The vibrant Play Studio is equipped for endless role-play and open-ended activity to spark little imaginations and give them the freedom to express themselves. With lots of new, messy materials to discover, children are encouraged to lead the way - honing their interests and discovering new passions.

Play Studio is bursting with engaging sensory activities like play-doh, kinetic sand, natural materials, arts & crafts and working pump taps for water play. There is an incredible sandpit, a huge custom-built indoor mud kitchen, gorgeous handmade dress-ups, an irresistible home area, a dedicated infant area and a place for epic construction. Play Studio has all the messy activities you don't want to do at home!

In addition to the abundant free-play, Play Studio hosts enriching curated group activities and studio sessions including music & movement, baby sensory, creative arts and toddler creative playgroup. This gives children the opportunity to slow down and focus on a core skill that they can grow over time.
