Hi, I am Lauren and I run Pop Up Play Village in and around Swale. I live with my partner Craig and our daughter Isla 3. I have spent the last 15 years working in Swale for Kent Police as a Police Community Support Officer and loved making a positive impact in the local Community. I have worked with children and young people in a variety of ways in this time. Since the birth of my daughter Isla I struggled with the work life balance around my role and was looking for a new challenge that also gave me enough time to make memories with Isla and the rest of my family.
Fast forward 6 months and here I am. I love seeing and helping children grow and flourish, engaging with parents and carers and seeing families have endless amounts of fun. My vision was to provide something for young children within the local area and I believe Pop Up Play Village will be a wonderful addition to Swale and surrounding areas. Being the only one in the County of Kent at present I’m hoping I can pave the way for many more to come in the future and help educate families along the way.
I look forward to meeting all the families within the Community and having lots of fun.
