Meet Louise – The Heart Behind The Play Den

Hi, I’m Louise, a mum of three and a passionate advocate for early childhood development based in West Cork.

The Play Den was created from my own journey, as a parent of children with additional needs, to offer a calm, inclusive, and sensory-friendly space where babies and toddlers can play, connect, and grow.

It’s a space where families feel welcomed, understood, and never judged.  💛

Micha Ward

My toddler can’t wait to get stuck into the messy play each week! The activities are so well thought out and I love the welcoming atmosphere.

Kellie Murphy

If your baby loves to get messy, this is the place to be! Watching my baby explore, learn, and gain confidence has been amazing.
