Thomas Parker, Children’s Business Leader at UK & IE at IKEA says: “Play is an essential part of everyday life and a basic human right - it allows children to tap into their creativity, relieve stress and spend quality time with friends and family.
"Alongside the benefits of helping a child to grow and learn, play offers endless fun for all the family and brings bursts of joy and energy to the home.
“When it comes to play, IKEA believes the home is the most important playground. Space and money should never be a barrier, which is why we offer a vast range of affordable games and activities.
“These allow children to use their imagination through role-play, physical activity and creativity, wherever they may be. The creation of the Chief Play Officer role puts the focus back on the play, and gives the power of creation to those who really know their stuff.”
