Join our multi age classes, which cater to a wide developmental range, from infants who can sit independently to preschool-age children. This approach encourages peer-to-peer learning and fosters social interaction across different age levels, making it particularly beneficial for friendship groups with children aged 5 months and up.

Classes are designed to support your child's holistic development, fostering growth in both fine and gross motor skills. Through engaging activities, children build important social skills and form early friendships in a positive setting, all while exploring and developing their five senses.

Your child will engage in hands-on, creative development by exploring various textures and materials. This is an open-ended activity with no fixed outcome, encouraging imagination and curiosity. Some children will naturally get more involved and appear messier than others, which is a normal and healthy part of the sensory learning process.

For those who need it, a large tub of warm water and flannels are provided at the end to wash down. Please remember your towel 🛁



THEMES AND ACTIVITIES

Each week the activities are planned around a theme with no less than 7 play areas - 2 wet messy stations, 2 dry messy stations, 1 paint station, 1 homemade playdough station, 1 craft station. The materials and theme change weekly, this offers your child the opportunity to independently explore a wide range of materials over a term.

Terms typically last 6 weeks, half term specials are not included in the price.



MATERIALS
Most of the products used in class are taste safe which means they are safe to be consumed in small amounts (children tend to explore with their senses including their mouth). They are not however meant to be consumed as you would as a meal. Please make sure you supervise your children at all times.

FOOD ALLERGIES
Some products used in class will contain dairy, egg or gluten. I understand how hard it can be to join in group classes if your child has allergies. I will always aim to accommodate any requirements but in order to do so please email me as soon as possible, ideally before booking so we can discuss your child's requirements beforehand.

Please note that if you or your child have a severe allergy, I cannot guarantee that there isn’t cross contamination as I use many different suppliers each with complex supply chains. Children with an anaphylactic reaction are not recommended to join.
