Nex Playground and NSPCC: supporting meaningful screen time for families

Nex Playground and NSPCC are working together to support meaningful screen time for families across the UK. By bringing together innovative technology and expert guidance, we’re encouraging positive screen habits for children and adults alike. Because screen time can be quality time, shared time and, of course, play time.

2 Thumbs Up from this Grandpa

This gaming system is all that the advertising says it is. I have a 6 year old grandson, and he just loves the games. It is so fun watching him get totally immersed in the games. All of the arm motions and jumping and twisting is great physical activity. I like it so much more than the other gaming systems were you are only exercising your thumbs. The whole family loves to get involved and play along side my grandson. I give it 2 thumbs up!!
