The story

Lisburn's imaginative play village

Nature and Nurture is an imaginative play centre in Lisburn Square, built around a role-play village and a sensory room for children aged 1–7. Rather than a climbing frame, it gives little ones scenarios to act out — running a café, fixing a car, playing doctor — with high-quality wooden toys sourced from sustainable makers.

It was set up by a doctor and an early-childhood-studies specialist, and runs toddler clubs for 0–3s and SEN-friendly sessions alongside a café for parents — a calm, screen-free, educational alternative to the big soft plays.
