A well-planned role-play area will enable children to represent and further explore real-life experiences and roles through play. However, for children to be able to make connections between their experience and provision, it is crucial that practitioners take time to find out about children's understanding and perceptions of possible themes. Within any setting there will be a range of unique experiences, and planned role-play provision should reflect the interests and experience of the current group of children.
